wine users - Sep 2009 - My WINE won't go to work

I still can't seem to figure out Wine and how it works. I tried again to get
Brainfuse Quick Connect working  last night and had the notion that perhaps I
need to get Explorer up and running. I've tried everything I know to get
that file in Other to run but nothing is happening.

I did get a lengthy error message.

[/home/ken/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/explorer.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/ken/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/explorer.exe may be a plain
executable, not an archive
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of
/home/ken/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/explorer.exe or
/home/ken/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/explorer.exe.zip, and cannot find
/home/ken/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/explorer.exe.ZIP, period.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do to fix the problem.
