wine users - May 2010 - Error on every tyr of installation of .exe files

Hi all! Im having trouble with wine, for any installation i get the following
errror

Quote:
Archive: /home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.exe
[/home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.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.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of
/home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.exe or
/home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.exe.zip, and cannot find
/home/mandos/Download/MoorHunt.exe.ZIP, period.
how may i fix this please ?
i also have to install my AutoCad here! does it works fine with wine ?
ive found that p2m, openp2m, morrhunt, etc would work... but all i can get are
these kind of error...

also i have uninstalled and reinstalled the wine and it still give the same
error.... for any .exe...
even with an older and stable version....

How are you trying to run these programs.  Could you give us an
example of how you do it?

You need to associate exe files with Wine in your file manager if you want to
run them by double-clicking. Otherwise, just run it from a terminal.
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#run_from_terminal

from the .exe diretory double click
or even by exploring my Hrd disk with the wine browse c:/  tool.
thanks

Ok ive successfully installed a program... now how do i run it ?
even now i cant install my autocad it keeps giving back errors

When things do not work correctly you need to execute the commands in
a terminal to help find the cause of the problem.

dimesio  posted a link to the instructions in the FAQ for that.
