The Wine folder is hidden

Go to Applications -> Utilities and start the terminal application.

In the window that opens type or copy:

open $HOME/.wine/drive_c/

This is Wine's C: drive.

Navigate to where the Program should have installed.

You should be able to copy and paste or drag and drop in the files.

This is a very old version of Wine, almost two years old.  I recommend 
using a more current Wine version from either MacPorts or Fink (both 
'port' Linux/UNIX applications so they will run on the Mac.)

One thing that you will notice after you 'upgrade' is a window will 
appear that states your Wine Configuration is being updated.  No worries 
here as some changes were made over time to the configuration files for 
Wine.

It is confusing moving from a Windows PC to the Mac.  However, we are 
here to help you get Wine working with it.   I'm not the only Mac Wine 
user out here, there are others and they may have better methods of 
getting done what you want done.
