add the binary path of it (probably /opt/wine... ) to your environment variable PATH in a startup script
i.e. add "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/wine...blahblah" to ~/.bash_profile (or other startup script)

Went back and tried this method after the symlink wouldn't work properly (gave me an error saying it couldn't find the Wine Source Tree or something like that) and it seems to be working fine now.

Thank you!

EDIT:Well I really wasn't expecting this next problem, when I try to run Starcraft I get the error:
err:x11settings.X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsExW No matching mode found! (No res)

EDIT: Just thought I should add this for future reference, I got the Wine-0.9.12.uci package from the testing repository, still had the error but then switched to a virtual desktop of 640x480 and it worked fine, should work full screen when i figure out how to set 640x480 as a usable resolution i guess.

Ah, for the symlink way, wine itself probably still searches the PATH variable, so no dice there.
But at least the other way seemed to work the way you had expected

If you are planning to use heavier graphics - such as games, you should consider using the XFree86.dsl extension to utilize video acceleration. This depends on how limited you are by your hardware though - but this should allow you to play at any resolution, with smoother video output.

I've 'lost my wine tree' too.

I've tried the suggestions here - at least I think I did...

I downloaded wine - from the mydsl extension panel.
Running DSL 3.0 (in M$ vpc) - frugal install
(I tried the 'test' version of wine - locked up DSL immediately)

I have my windows executeable in the program files directory
(EssentialPIM portable) - it runs in windows without being installed - right off a flash drive.)

Here's what I have added in my .bash_profile:
export PATH-$PATH:/opt/wine-20060635/wine
ln -s export PATH=$PATH:/opt/wine-20050524/wine /user/bin

I have also removed the last line (I'm thinking it should be ran from a shell...)

The errors I receive are:
wine EssentialPIM.exe
/user/bin/wine: could not locate Wine source tree

and
ln -s /opt/wine-20050524/wine /usr/bin
ln: /usr/bin/wine :File exists
**note - this second message isn't an error (?) - the command must have been executed before and created the file. - so perhaps it DOES belong in the bash file (if wine is launched from there) (or I suppose in the .xinitrc file)

TIA for your time and help.
