Probably because you typed the filename wrong.  Use tab completion,
that frees you from accidental typos.  e.g. do wine US<tab> and it should
fill out the line with the execuable's full filename.  If it doesn't autocomplete,
you either typed the wrong first few letters, or you're in the wrong directory and the file isn't there.

I just tried this:


wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/5/5/2557D51B-AF4C-4123-8198-563ABA07337B/USMoneyDlxSunset.exe
wine USMoneyDlxSunset.exe

and it installed fine.  I also had to do 'winetricks ie6' to get the app to
behave, as noted in the appdb.  Haven't really used it, though.
