[Wine] Installing on to Wine from disk

[mike0liver]

Is it possible to install a Windows program from its original installation disk to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using Wine? I know not every Windows application will run but I also know many will.

I've tried several applications but get various error messages every time. I am not a tecchie and find the instructions on installing Windows software on the Ubuntu Wine website very confusing.

Can anyone help, please?
