End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.exe or
/home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.exe.ZIP, period.

Heloooo!!!
The reason that it's not installing correctly through wine is because wine decided that it would read that little .exe file as an archive. Messed up, huh?

What I do whenever I install .exe files is:

1. cd to whatever directory the .exe file is located in
2. When you're in that directory, Do "wine blahablahblah.exe" (whatevah your .exe is...)

Yah!

It works then. VOILA!

Thank goodness I have an uber smart older brother to show me the ropes of Linux! PHEW!

MEHEHEHE...
I forgot to mention a step before step one...
Go into the terminal to do this...
Right...

I had to add this post so that you know I realize my carelessness...
I am quite tired... bleh
