I'm venting.  What I am trying to accomplish is to simply get it to work, 
period.  

I install it, run winex, and it doesn't do anything - OK, it DOES create a 
config file in my .transgaming directory but it does NOT create a fake 
c:\windows drive and it apparently doesn't install a critical library that it 
needs to run:  libMFC42.so.  

Doing a search on my system and there is NO libMFC42 anywhere.  This is a 
very winex-specific file but it apparently didn't install it?  Or if it did, 
it doesn't know where it stuck its own file?  THIS pisses me off.   

Finally, there is a winesetup binary in the /usr/lib/transgaming/winex/bin 
directory.  Running this app produces a tk window similar to something you'd 
see with codeweavers.  It doesn't do anything but error out because it cannot 
find yet another file that it should have installed itself (otherwise why 
include this <broken> binary in the first place?).

All this together is frustrating me to the point of yelling.  I paid 
Transgaming money and have tried to use their winex several times over the 
months and there is apparently no change at all in the result.  There is 
absolutely NO documentation.  No instructions.  Nothing.  There isn't even 
anything useful in regards to my problems on their website under the various 
"Support" headings.  I looked.  

Where is libMFC42 and why can't it find it?  It is a winex file!  I didn't do 
anything wierd, just installed the rpm.  Why didn't it create a fake 
c:\windows directory or, barring that, why isn't there any documentation or 
instructions on creating all this oneself?  

There.
