wine users - Aug 2009 - wine does n't open

Hai Friends,

I was using wine happily with ubuntu 8.04. Now I have ubuntu 9.04 clean install
on a new machine. I could install wine but when I open
wine-program-accessories-notepad nothing happens. Also configure wine does
n't funtion.

Also when I try to install any exe file this message comes: here is one example

[/home/illusions/Desktop/TeamViewer_Setup.exe]
  End-of-central-directory signature not found.  Either this file is not
  a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive.  In the
  latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
  the last disk(s) of this archive.
note:  /home/illusions/Desktop/TeamViewer_Setup.exe may be a plain executable,
not an archive
zipinfo:  cannot find zipfile directory in one of
/home/illusions/Desktop/TeamViewer_Setup.exe or
          /home/illusions/Desktop/TeamViewer_Setup.exe.zip, and cannot find
/home/illusions/Desktop/TeamViewer_Setup.exe.ZIP, period.

Can anyone able to map the problem and help me pls.......
I have been reading forums but could n't resolve it.

Thanks

My guess would be that some archive program associated EXE files with itself....

Easy way: Run Wine from the console.

If that works, you might want to ask the ubuntu forum how to fix file
associations on Ubuntu.

Dear Austin,

The notepad does n't even open.

thanks

Gert,

The notepad just does n't open. When I click on notepad nothing happens.
You have n't said the wine run command on terminal.

Thanks a ton
