Wine won't install any programs

[Nerdio]

Hello there guys, i've been trying to install programs on wine. I looked for the application(utorrent) to install on wine 1.2 but after i look it up, choose the version of windows (xp) and click apply in won't give me an installation windows or anything. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi, Nerdio.

It's been a while since I installed anything in Wine.
But I recall that I simply opened up a file manager (Nautilus, Konqueror, Rox...). Navigate to the file, right-click on it.
There was an option labelled something like:

Open with Wine Installer

From there, I installed just like in Windows.

BTW... the only programs I have installed in Wine are Diablo2 and HHOMM3.

Hope that helps.

Ok so i right clicked and i got a open "up with wine window program loader" , tried that and it just hanged. What now? Could it be the Os itself?

What program are you trying to run? you might find some details, or some tips on installation on the WineDB.
Also, the current version of Wine is 1.4.
You might want to update to the latest version and give it another go.
