First:  To use most Windows programs in Wine it is necessary to install the program IN WINE.
Second:  If this breaks, you are basically on your own as you will be told to do what I put in First.

If you don't know how, we can advise to read the FAQ.  However and again, this might break Wine in ways which you will not like and we will tell you to 'delete your Wine Fake Windows directory (usually $HOME/.wine) and start over and follow First.

Good.

Third, do you have the media you installed your programs from?  If so, use them to install the program in Wine.
Fourth, Wine has an Applications Database, please make use of it.  You do not have to create an account unless you want to report results of using a program in Wine or report a as-yet unreported program's functioning in Wine.

The goal of the Wine project is to fully implement the Windows32 and Windows64 API/ABI.  There are parts that are not fully implemented and thus we recommend using native Windows dll files on a case-by-case basis because using a blanket 'replace' dll files, will break your Wine installation and you might have to start over installing files.  Again, avail yourself of the FAQ and read through them and why we do not recommend replacing dll files without good reason.
