From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Have you tried using Bottles? It's a front-end for Wine that makes configuration easier: LINK
Bottles didn't run anything I tried, unfortunately. They seemed to install just fine, but that was about it.
Are you installing needed libraries?
For example, the installer runs because it doesn’t need any, but then your app needs say VCRedist 2010, and so won’t until run until you add the
vcrun2010extra library with Winetricks or the menu in Bottles.There are indeed many applications and games that still don't run under wine for all different kinds of reasons. And a windows-on-linux virtualized GPU in VMs are still not mature enough to work for many apps, so unfortunately for those people, their only choice is a physical GPU passthrough VM.
