I can't seem to run an exe file in ubuntu 12.04. I don't have anything configured, and I'm a complete novice to Wine, so put it in layman terms.

In general, you run an application with:

wine /path/to/program.exe

In general, with many applications, you run the installation .exe and it installs to your wine directory , ~/.wine

In general, after you install an application in wine you will then have a launcher or a wine menu (depends a bit on your interface (kde).

For additional information see: this Ubuntu Forums post which links to basic info on WINE and a primer you may find useful, as well as the official Ubuntu website post on WINE.

For testing, I'd suggest starting with a well known 32-bit app, such as the Windows version of 7-Zip, which has a Platinum rating in the WINE Apps db.
