wine users - Feb 2009 - Wine installation problems

So I went to sourceforge.net and dowloaded the 1.1.10 version of Wine.  The
problem is that after I download it, I cannot open the file because "an
error occurred while opening the achrive."  What does this mean and how do
I get Wine?  Thank you.

Download links and instructions from http://www.winehq.org/download

Some distros also have wine in their repositories, but it may be an old version.

Which distribution of Linux/UNIX do you have?  Visit the downloads page
of WineHQ to see if a prepackaged version exists.  Also, FYI, 1.1.10 is
an old distribution (about 10 weeks or so old).  Is there a particular
reason you need this version?  If not, please try to use version 1.1.15
or if you need a stable released version 1.0.1.

Thank you.

You can stop right there. Wine does not work with any hardware directly.
You'll have to use virtual machine or separate partition.

so theres no way I can use zune on ubuntu with wine?  It said on wine hq that
zune was one of the applications that would work with it? it thought...

Not for the time being at least.

Where did you see that?

AppDB says otherwise:

Does it not work in native applications, e.g., Rythmbox?
