Where does WINE install applications?

[timswim78]

I really have three questions here:

1. Where is WINE installed in Linux?
2. Where are Windows applications installed, when installed with WINE?
3. Where are Linux applications in general installed?

I guess that I need to get a better understanding of how to search for files in Linux because I have been trying to understand the directory structure by searching for files, but I keep striking out...

WINE is typically installed in /usr/bin, I think. Assuming you used the WINE setup program, and accepted defaults, you should have a folder .wine in your home directory(it will be hidden, as the . before its name implies). Inside that folder will be the fake_windows folder. All Windows apps used under WINE treat this as the C: drive. So the installs will go wherever you tell them to, relative to that. In general, I think most apps go into /usr/bin and some of the core ones into /bin.
