You really need to clean up your untidy desktop.

Playing around with Linux Mint 19, Cinnamon and Mate flavours on a spare machine, very impressed, everything working well, except Wine.
Trying to install from Software Manager, no success so far. In earlier versions of Mint not had that trouble. I don't really want to use the terminal.

Turns out, other people have had problems installing Wine in Mint 19, I don't have enough knowledge to sort it out. No such problems in Mint 18.3.
Shame, otherwise Mint 19 seems excellent so far.

Let me see if I can do a quick install of Mint 19 and Wine. I suspect the Wine install will be via a Terminal session but probably just a copy and paste of some simple commands and to ensure full admin privs are done.
Won't be for a while as I'm away currently away.
I use to use Mint a lot but these days I find Win10 faster and also Microsoft are purposefully being lax in letting people upgrade for free from Win 7 and Win 8.

Yes, I tried from Software Manager first, did not work, Winetricks and Playonlinux seem to be something else.
I then tried, as you say, a copy and paste into the terminal, no luck there either.

Oh! Seems the Linux people did not look at this properly when doing version 19.
I will try but will not be at the earliest until back end of next week.

Thank you, that is kind. I'm sure that with more knowledge and patience I could do it. But it should be easy as it was with previous Mint iterations.
I actually tried this too;
Started with a fresh installation of Mint 18.3 Mate 64 Bit.
Installed Wine from Software Manager.
Did a System Update.
Everything working, including Wine.
Did a System Snapshot using Timeshift.
Did the upgrade from Mint 18.3 to Mint 19 using these instructions: https://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/2416
The upgrade took ages, several times the time taken for a fresh install.
However, it worked! Sort of, everything seemed OK, until I tried Wine, just doesn't start when trying to open a Windows .exe.
Back to square one!
Then, Thought that I'd try rolling back from Mint 19 (with Wine not working) to Mint 18.3 using Timeshift.
It didn't take all that long, and worked, and Wine is working too.
