Where does one store portable executables?

Thanks, that link gave me this, which seems to be the best fit. I'll see how permissions go.




/usr
[/color]A sub hierarchy to the root file system which is a User data directory. Contains user specific utilities and applications. You will again see a lot of important but not critical file systems are mounted. Here you would again find a bin, sbin & lib directory which contains non-critical user and system binaries and related libraries and a share directory. Also found here are the include directory with include files
[/color]/usr/bin
[/color]Contains Non-Essential Non-critical command binaries for users.

Window executables will not run on linux natively.  Use WINE.  Documentations are in

www.winehq.org

I would think LL manual also have some.

Also I would not mixed linux and window executables.  Create a new directory in /usr local/ or something (e.g., /usr/local/window).  Some links on file structure are

I've got a couple of portable executables that I don't know how to integrate into the system. For instance, Palemoon is in a folder. I want to park it in the right place and then create a launcher to it, on the desktop and the start menu, for lack of a better term.


I also have a portable windows executable that I can fire directly, but which I cannot fire via launcher. If I park it at /opt or /usr/bin I keep getting access violations, or nothing happens at all.


Thanks for any guidance.
