HELP! How do I know if WINE is installed or will work? HELP!

[Rick James]

I just wanted Rosetta Stone. But after my computer recently bricked and I loaded ubuntu 11.04 onto it, I discovered wine, which would hopefully be my answer to make the pirated version of the $350+ program work. I have never seriously used linux before, so I have been stabbing blindly through the process of setup and whatnot based on the vague internet guides I have found. I have:
Q4wine
Wine Microsoft windows compatibility layer
Playon Linux
Winetricks
I dont know what any of this means, i just downloaded them because it seemed like it would enhance the original (whichever one that is). After tweaking a whole bunch of stuff (feel free to ask about what these are... I can't think of them through the blur of this foreign language), I don't know if it's actually istalled correctly, will take rosetta stone, or anything at all! Please help!! I am just a newb with no serious geeks to help me

Not with our help. Pirated software is not supported here. Do not ask about it again or you will risk being banned.

To learn how to use Wine, start by reading http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ. Feel free to start a new post for help with any legally-obtained software.
