Also this application will run IE in the background and use flash player so I guess I need those too also ? Does Wine come with IE on it and Adobe Flash Player?

Wine has its own version of IE based on gecko, but it's insufficient for many apps, so you may have to install real IE with winetricks. You will also have to do that for Flash.
You didn't say what version of Wine you're using. If it's not the latest development release, upgrade. If it doesn't work in current Wine, post console output. http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#get_log
Ok thanks for the response. I think I use Wine 1.2 though I am not sure. I will update this thread when I do what you asked from me. I would really like to solve this problem since it might help me and others.

Never run Wine as root. Install your app as a normal user.
And now I see I didn't post Wine version. It's 1.3
That's the just the Ubuntu package numbering, so there's no telling from that what version you have. Type
Now following how to in the second post I tried to change directory to that particular folder named Vagex on desktop. But the permission is the issue now as you can see in the code bellow.
normaluser@cloud-4f800bb5109cd:~$ cd '/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/root/Desktop/Vagex'
-bash: cd: /root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/root/Desktop/Vagex: Permission denied
normaluser@cloud-4f800bb5109cd:~$ sudo cd '/root/.wine/dosdevices/c:/users/root/Desktop/Vagex'
[sudo] password for normaluser:
normaluser is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

Of course it's an issue. I told you to install your app as a normal user. Delete /root/.wine and run winecfg as a normal user to create the default wineprefix in /home/normaluser/.wine. Then install your app to that wineprefix.
I have to figure out how to do what you said since couple of days ago Linux OS was something new to me. I have few people whom I can ask and once I do what you said to me I'll post update here. Please keep an eye on this topic.
I am on my way to solve this. I've created normal user and used winetrick to do what you asked of me. I still can't open the .exe file. I just see in taskbar little icon "Opening.." and nothing more.
Is it possible that Wine opens it and runs it somewhere but I don't see it?
Hello,
I've followed instructions here and installed Wine as normal user (with sudo right) on my Centos 6. I've also installed IE8 successfully on Centos using wine. I've checked is there IE8 in the Program Files directory and it was. But I can't run it. And my .exe application uses IE and Adobe Flash player. So I think that may be the issue.

If you had used winetricks to install IE8, it states that IE8 cannot
be run. It can be installed, however, to give IE8 functions when
needed. Can this program use IE7?
Hello
I didn't try IE7 but I got info on IRC that IE8 can't run on Wine. Second, I am trying on Centos now to run Wine which I downloaded from here. Link of the website
Now the plan is now to check if Gecko can help me or if IE7 can be used to run application.
I typed wine ~/location of exe file in system32 folder but I got message that i need mono for Windows.
And I installed it of course and still no luck. Again when I type same command from terminal I got the same message.
But since I got information that this app is in the dark zone of breaching YouTube TOS then admin should consider of closing this thread.
