wine users - Jul 2010 - Installing a program without an MSI or installer file

I have a couple of programs, one a windows .exe, the other a .java program that
re user created programs that support SimCity 4.

I've tried adding them to various places around wine's file system, but
no soap.

How does one do this?  Does wine include the JRE to run java stuff?

I can edit the registry if only I knew what to put in there and where.

No. You have to install Java in Wine, just like you would in Windows.

OK, but please understand that I have no windows software here any more.  Where
might one acquire a copy of this mysterious library?

Good grief!  I ran that, and whoop de do, what a surprising thing.  I assume
what I need is in there somewhere.  I am going fishing, I guess.  Many thanks.

After all that blundering about on my part, I think I finally learned something
about wine.  The program now works as advertised.  winetricks saved the day. 
Those very much untrusted windows modules are installed.

I checked the windows support site and that particular module has several pages
of trouble reports.  Apparently it is prone to being stepped on.  Tsk, tsk.
