Unlike the previous versions, whereas the wine executable are installed globally, it is installed to your home directory in version 5. you can find it at: ~/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-5.0/ where winex- is your current version of cedega in that directory, you can find subdirs like bin/ winex/ etc. here is your old favored cedega, it is in the bin/, with name of "winex3", which is a shell script. When you try to run it directly, for instance: ./winex3 or ~/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-5.0/bin/winex3 you will have some errors, but you only need to add one line in that script to fix it. which is: export WINEXINSTALLDIR=$HOME/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-5.0/ just before the line if [ -z "$WINEXINSTALLDIR" ] and done ! you can make a link afterward or run ~/.cedega/.winex_ver/winex-5.0/bin/winex3 directly as you did in earlier versions with the command "cedega"
