wine users - May 2010 - Run simple exe files without GUI

I everyone! I?m new to the forum and wine.

I?m trying to run a simple .exe application that converts a file with a specific
format in a plain text file.

In windows it does nothing but that, I think it brings up a console window but
inmediately closes it, without any visible output in it. So It just creates a
.txt file based in an "encripted" file.

Do I need to have GUI or can I run it in a text based box?

Can anyone give me a hint on how can I run that using wine? 

Thanks in advance!!

Just in case I wasn?t clear enough:

I mean I want to run this windows/Dos application in linux.

Thanks again

It depends on what you mean without GUI:

a) The .exe is a console application.
-Yes, that will work in Wine

b) You are running Linux without X (headless)
-No, Wine requires X.

Oh, I forgot:

To run a console application under Wine, simply open the console emulator (like
"cmd" in the Windows world), then type:

wine YourApp.exe YourEncryptedFile.bin OutputFile.txt
