Try this - open up a terminal window (Applications > Accessories under GNOME). Type wine followed by a space in there (don't press enter yet) and then drag the exe from the file browser into the terminal window and press paste when asked.
Now press enter.
Does anything happen now?
(Also, it would be helpful for next time if you could tell us what distribution you are using - Ubuntu, Fedora, for example and which version it is, so that we can try and make instructions as specific as possible. Thanks!)

Under Applications, Wine, Wine Configuration; I added: FantasyGrounds.exe and FantasyGroundsPatchFull-1.05c.exe.
How do I get them to run?
FWI my Wine version is 0.9.58 and Fedora fc9 Core 2

When I go through Applications > Accessories there is no Gnome. It lists:
Archive Manager
Calculator
Character Map
Dasher
Dictionary
Take Screenshoot
Text Editor
I tried the Text Editor and followed your instructions. That did not work. I there, maybe, a way through the Terminal to do it?

Here is what I did and the result:
[root@localhost ~]# wine /media/LinuxSwitch/Web Site/dlfiles/FantasyGrounds.exe
It gave me, "wine: cannot find '/media/LinuxSwitch/Web'" How do I deal with folders that have a space in them?

To deal with folders that have a space (or other special characters that the shell may be confused by), encase the whole path with quotes:
Code:
wine "/media/LinuxSwitch/Web Site/dlfiles/FantasyGrounds.exe"(Alternatively, you can 'escape' the space by placing a backslash in front of it. This might be helpful if there are only a small number of problematic characters, and you've already started typing and don't want to go back and put the opening quote:
Code:
wine /media/LinuxSwitch/Web\ Site/dlfiles/FantasyGrounds.exe)

Thank you I did that. I have now listed FantasyGrounds 1.0 on WineHQ as Garbage. It went through the install phase. Before it got to the part were it asks for the Reg-code, it crashed! I was planning on then doing the FantasyGrounds 1.05 upgrade.
