I successfully installed Rosetta Stone on a new installation of Linux Mint. Verified I'm using latest stable version of Wine. The software was working fine. I closed it, and Now i have no idea how to run it. If i knew where the executable was, I could, but searching for "rosetta" gives me nothing anywhere on my drive.

The .exe file should be in a subdirectory of
~/.wine/drive_c,
probably in
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/<application subdirectory>

If you're using Ubuntu, if you find the executable in the file manager and double click on it, the program will start.

Alternatively, you can run it from a terminal window:
> wine '<full path to .exe file>'

You have to put the path in quotes because of the spaces and parentheses in the directory name "Program Files (x86)".

For example, I've installed the program Ear60.exe on my machine. To run it from the console, from a terminal I execute:

> wine '/home/asb/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/EarMaster Pro 6\Ear60.exe'
