If you're trying to install Outlook, with Wine, then it'll require a quite a bit of Wine Foo and Linux/ BASH (other shells are available) command line knowledge!! 
Trying to install any Microsoft Office application, via a Linux Desktop File Manager/Wine, just ain't happening anytime soon...
Wine is typically only associated with .exe files (+ Unix executable flag set) in most Linux Distributions / Desktop Environments. If you want to mess about with other application types then .exe - you'll need to use Linux native tools (file archivers). Or alternatively you can use Windows GUI / command line tools running under Wine (like the 7-zip archiver). Probably only worth tackling for the more advanced Linux user!!

For the more noobie approach - there is always the possibility of buying a CrossOver License. Most of the Wine Development is funded by CrossOver - so purchasing a license is indirectly supporting Wine.

Hello. No ... I do not need Outlook or Microsoft program. I'm using applications for Linux. What I wonder is why the Wine icon is in gray instead of appearing the Wine application icon.
I'm currently using through Wine is the MetaTrader 5 platform that is native to Windows.

I *think* the winehq packages don't provide any, uh, shell integration. That entry could be left over from something else or built in / default for your file manager / DE. That said... unless you know where to look for what's behind that menu entry you could try (as root) 'ln -s /opt/wine-devel/bin/wine /usr/bin/wine'. (Assuming you installed the devel version, and assuming the entry points to /usr/bin/wine, that might work. Or not.)
