Once wine is installed, find the .exe that installs the app you want and use wine to open it. From the command line, you would cd to the directory where the .exe is and run it like this:

wine the_app_to_install.exe

After installation you run the app from within the .wine directory which is in your home directory:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/directory_of_desired_app/

Then:

wine the_app_to_run.exe

Please be aware that Linux is not another version of Windows but is an entirely different operating system. Running Windows apps under wine will result in the app running almost perfectly to not at all. It is far from dependable with many Windows programs. The best advice I can give you is to look for a Linux equivalent to the Windows apps you want or simply run them under Windows.
