just installed suse 10.3 on my laptop (dell latitude d520) and installed wine.

theres no sign of wine in the menus
> theres no sign of wine in the menus
having found no need for Windows™ based software, i have no wine
installed on my system…but, i think it is as easy as:
issue a command line (in a terminal) like
wine /full/path/to/game_executable.exe and press enter
but, you probably should look at the wine manual…enter
man wine
and press enter…

Hmmm… did you install wine from the openSUSE repos? I did under
10.3 and I have a Wine sub menu in my KDE menus showing the apps.
As for uninstalling Windows apps… well…

If you have ‘just’ installed it you might want to reboot (Yah I know
old Windows habit). The menu entries do not always get created.
Sometimes logging out and back in is enough to fix it
but rebooting should for certain. If you are using KDE 3.X or KDE4 using
the ‘traditional menu’ there will be a wine bottle icon on the top level
menu. For some reason in KDE 4 with panel menu it doesn’t seem to show at
all.
right rebooted laptop and have wine in the menus
also have an icon for a game i installed, but when i click the game icon the game opens and closes straight away
in that case, run it from the konsole, you will see the error message(s) produced then
eg
wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/MyGame/MyGame.exe
Also, it may be wise to check the AppDB on Wine HQ as there may be a known issue / workaround for the title (or it might just not work (booooo!))

In a terminal window, do the following:
find . -iname ‘*exe’
From the resulting list (if there is one), you should see where the
game program is located. Then just do:
wine /path/to/gameprogram

all im getting is unknown predicate
but i should point out i installed suse 11 as my dics came yesterday through the post
Hei,
I have had the same issue with 10.3, though it seemed like random if the wine sub-menu appeared or not, I installed several times. In the classic kde menu list it always appeared though.
I am now on the 11 with kde 3.5… and wine apps appears under the applications sub-menu.
The wine path should be under /home/<yourusername>/.wine. You’ll see a drive_c/ under there. If you’re familiar with windows folder structures, the subfolders under drive_c will be the same stuff you’ll find under C: on windows. So the game is probably under Program Files/<nameofgame>. Find the executable and you can run it by using wine <name>.exe.
Dunno what the game is, but if it’s one of those confirmed to work under wine, you may want to try using playonlinux to install it. You can find playonlinux under the packman repository. It basically sets up the necessary environment for the game so you don’t have to wrestle with dll files and such.

Did you use two dashes before ‘iname’? It should be only a single dash:
find . -iname ‘*exe’
find[space][dot][space][dash]iname[space][single
quote][asterisk]exe[single quote]
