wine users - Dec 2011 - [PLEASE HELP] Trying to install wine in Amazon AWS EC2

I looked everywhere for information on how to install wine in the Amazon AWS
cloud.

Can somebody please point me to some working binaries and which AMI to use?  And
possibly some installation instructions?

I'm just trying to run some simple Windows console applications (from
MS-DOS)... nothing fancy.  But wine just doesn't want to install or run in
AWS.   Surely many people have installed wine in the Amazon cloud a thousand
times, right?

Thanks for any help.

Ask on the AWS support forum.

Most MS-DOS programs will run better in dosbox than in wine, so
if dosbox will run in AWS it may save you the trouble of getting
wine to run there.  I personally have no idea whether either one
will work.
