apt-get install wine
winecfg //configure your wine
If you don't want a Windows installer to change filetype associations, add menu items, or create desktop links
winecfg -> Libraries tab and type winemenubuilder.exe (and click add)
//the first time you run "wine app.exe" it will auto create the /home/username/.wine directory wine application.exe wine start installer.msi

//if your wine win app uninstaller doesn't work you may have to... rm -rf $HOME/.wine
rm -f $HOME/.config/menus/applications-merged/wine rm -rf $HOME/.local/share/applications/wine rm -f $HOME/.local/share/desktop-directories/wine rm -f $HOME/.local/share/icons/????_*.xpm
