How far did you get?  Not all applications work under WINE, and many
only partially work (i.e. the installer may start up, but you can't
get past one step or another.)

I've only installed one application under WINE, firefox 3.  Here are
the steps I took:

Summary:
# wine "Firefox Setup 3.0.exe"
I just used the defaults during the installation.  When I run the
application, I use:
# wine "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"
