    Wine installed correctly?

    Hello,
    Problem: Wine is installed, but does not appear in the list "all applications" and is not working.

    I have on my hard disk:
    - Bootable Linux Partition with Xubuntu 18.04
    - NTFS Partition just with 2 portable exe programs, no Windows.
    I installed wine (July 2018) with sudo apt-get install wine-stable

    When I right click the exe program, open in wine is not offered.
    What is the reason?
    Thank you for help.

    Re: Wine installed correctly?

    there is a problem with wine in 18.04, until it gets fixed I would suggest using playonlinux or you can use the terminal to install the program in wine.
    you may also have to install wine32 and ia32-libs to get 32 bit programs to work.

    to install via a terminl navigate to the folder the .exe file is in and use this command
    Code:
    wine XXXX.exe
    where XXXX is the name of the file being executed.
    Good luck.

    P.S. Playonlinux may be the easiest way at the moment.

    Terminal: wine XXXX.exe works perfect, thank you!
    Where can I read about the commands to integrate that to autostart?
    Thank you

    Your Welcome,
    any program you want to auto start can be added to the auto start menu under /home/<user name>/.config/autostart (note it's a hidden file so you will have to click on show hidden files. ) Also wine directory itself is a hidden file in your home directory .wine.

    if you need to run wine config you can do so from the terminal also by entering
    Code:
    winecfg
