default

I have installed MonoDevelop and after that Wine, but when I want to open an EXE file and then double click on it, it always runs with the Mono runtime, and if I want to run it with Wine, I should right click on it and choose Wine.

Well, in properties and in Open With there isn't Wine that choose it for the default application... I have this problem for all types of applications and files.

When the software you want to run is in the right click application (Open With), I can't choose it in properties for the default. In fact, I can't find it in properties, because it is in open with option in right click...

What should I do to fix this problem?

I'm running Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal), 32 bit.

How will people upgrade from 12.10 to 14.04 after 13.04 is EOL?

as seen on Ask Ubuntu - Search for 'Ask Ubuntu'
Looking at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases 13.04 will reach EOL in January 2014, while 12.10 will reach EOL in April 2014, therefore if a 12.10 user hasn't upgraded to 13.04 and subsequently to 13.10, there will be a 3 month period where a 12.10 user has a supported version of Ubuntu, but will be… >>> More
