Run this in terminal:

Code:
id -a

Log-off, log-in.

Yes, in terminal. See FAQ for details (Installing Applications section).

Then replace "setup.exe" with the name of your program. Alternatively you can right click on your program and select "Run with Wine". However it won't help us in troubleshooting if program doesn't work.

This is Wine forum, not Knopix. Ask distro specific questions on your distro forum.
