Generally, you just run the setup.exe (or whatever) with wine, i,e.
wine setup.exe (although you will probably need the full path)
Using Gnome, in Ubuntu, I get a the option to 'Run with wine' when I
right click a .exe file.
Having said that, a lot of stuff needs special treatment, so look in the
Wine AppDB first for any specific guidance.
