Cannot install WINE

I replaced a Lubuntu 18.04 on my son's i386 laptop with current Q4OS 5.5. Then I tried to install Wine to run some school apps (windows based), but I cannot install wine:
(instructions by Testyyy as in this forum at topic id=4739 (I am not allowed to post the link, that is also why I put 'space' into the following links))

I installed also
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine wine32 wine64 fonts-wine

But there is no Wine-Section in the TDE-Menu, and if I try to start one of the apps that worked at Lubuntu with a right-mouse-click, the mouse shows for some seconds a "wine" glass, but the .exe is not opened properly, but in a konqueror window.

What I missed that my son can use his school apps as he could with wine @lubuntu 18?

Re: Cannot install WINE

Let's say that you want to install a windows program called "World Map" and the installer is worldmap.exe

Assuming the installer is in your Downloads folder then you would use the Konsole command:-

WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.wine wine /home/username/Downloads/worldmap.exe

If the executable contains a space - e.g. world map.exe then it would be:-

WINEPREFIX=/home/username/.wine wine "/home/username/Downloads/world map.exe"

Provided it installs OK then you will find the menu updated with the relevant entry

Re: Cannot install WINE

Thank you, bin

This way, I can start the apps with wine.

But is there a way to show them in the TDE-Menu? In Lubuntu there was a section "Wine" with all the Win Apps I had installed. For my 10y-old child, this would be more convenable as to use the console.

Re: Cannot install WINE

You are welcome.

My experience with TDE and wine is that any app I install shows up in the menu exactly as you describe, and of course also creates a desktop launcher as it does in windows.

I do recall that some apps used by schools just run straight from the executable rather than actually gong through a 'normal' windows installation. In that case they will not create a menu entry. However you said that they did that in Lubuntu so there must be another reason. It may just be a case of forcing the menus to regenerate - though I would still be puzzled if there is no desktop launcher created by the installation.

First i suggest you run

sudo lcmodules --unlock

in Konsole. This allows access to all the settings menu items.
Next, right click on the Menu button>Unlock Panels
Next, right click on the Menu button>Configure Panels>Menus
At the top of the screen will be 'TDE Style Menu' showing Bourbon in a drop down box.
Click the drop down box and select Trinity Classic>OK
Click the Menu button>Programmes>Accessories and see if there is a WINE menu entry.
If you want to return to the original menu appearance then go back and right click on the Menu button>Configure Panels>Menus
At the top of the screen will be TDE Style Menu showing Trinity Classic - swap back to Bourbon>OK

If none of this makes sense, or just doesn't work, then I'd be happy to investigate further but would need access to the application/installer you are trying to use.
