In Windows, applications are installed into Program Files folder by default. I have recently installed MS Office using Wine.
Where are apps installed with Wine? Can I decide in which folder should they be installed?

I looked in the "configure Wine" window, but to change the C directory is greyed out:
Simple solution: a link
What simply works however is:
Move the folder
drive_cfrom~/.wine/to any accesible location of your choice (Thec-driveis probably what you really want to move, since applications are stored in that directory)Make a link from there into the folder
~/.wine/:ln -s /path/to/the_other_location/drive_c ~/.wine
That should simply work (and it does on my system)
Installation via winetricks worked very well for me.
Install winetricks:
sudo apt-get install winetricks
then run winetricks and follow the instructions. Run ADE from the dash.

~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)...
