What you are doing looks ok - did you configure /etc/wine.conf when you
installed wine? What error messages does wine give you?

The last time I tried wine it was still recommended to have a working
Win9x installation onboard. For simplicity's sake you could copy the win
.exes to your linux box & run them locally, assuming they don't need
external .dlls to run.
