There's not much to go on from your original post. A description of the problem would be very helpful. Does it not run? Did it not install? Can you run but not run a certain windows program on it? (If the last one is the case, wine isn't perfect and there are some windows applications that wine can't run.) If an error message is appearing, posting it's contents would also be very helpful.

It is installed correctly but when I double click on .exe files to run the option is unavailable.

How about invoking it as `wine path/to/executable`?
Also, make sure Wine has been set up completely (there needs to be the ~/.wine/drive_c file, or however you define it). I believe the command to do this is winecfg.

Try right-clicking on the .exe file and seeing if there is a "run in wine" option. I don't know why, but it doesn't automatically recognize .exe files as needing to be automatically emulated.
If it is not there, I'm sure there is a way to change some setting to allow this menu option... though how I got it, I forget. >_<  |

Fixed the problem. I just reinstalled all of Ubuntu and started from scratch. It was a hassle but everything works and now my other problems are gone too.
