 For applications not included in wine doors, most windows applications can be installed simply by double clicking on the executable file after wine has been installed. Wine installs programs to a virtual windows drive which can be access by going to the applications menu and selecting wine> Browse Wine Drive. If a program created a desktop icon or start menu item for windows it should be located on your ubuntu desktop and/or under the wine programs menu respectively.
