I don't know if i do it right or not, but...............

I open Winefile. [ It's like filemanager/Windows Explorer - sorta ] Find 
the installation program I want to try to install and double click [ 
Windows remember ]. I usually get a shortcut on the desktop when it's done.

Don't hold your breath that it's gonna work.
