I just used Wine to install a program in the "Program Files (x86)" folder. I would like to use wine to be able to run this program instead of having to run the installer every time I want to use it. Where does Wine keep its program files folder? Or else, how can I use Wine to run programs in this folder?

I am currently trying to install doxygen, which has an unmet dependency libclang.so.6. I followed these instructions for installing this package, but it has its own dependencies. 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
clang-6.0 : Depends: libjsoncpp1 (>= 1.7.4) but 1.7.2-1 is to be installed
         Depends: libstdc++-7-dev but it is not installable
         Depends: libgcc-7-dev but it is not installable
         Depends: libobjc-7-dev but it is not installable
         Depends: libclang-common-6.0-dev (= 1:6.0.1~svn331815-1~exp1~20180509123840.80) but 1:6.0.1~svn331722-1~exp1~20180508135726.78 is to be installed
         Depends: libclang1-6.0 (= 1:6.0.1~svn331815-1~exp1~20180509123840.80) but 1:6.0.1~svn331722-1~exp1~20180508135726.78 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I have tried installing each of these, both using apt-get and synaptic, but they all are either unavailable or not available in the correct version. How can I find and install the correct versions of each of these dependencies?

I am currently trying to install doxygen on my computer, but upon running doxygen through the command line it fails with this error:

doxygen: error while loading shared libraries: libclang.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have tried multiple ways of installing it. I tried using apt-get, I tried building it from source, and I tried the unique solution suggested in this StackExchange answer. When I try to build it from source, cmake fails with this error:

 ~/Documents/Repos/doxygen/build/CMakeFiles$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:148 (message):
  Could NOT find FLEX (missing: FLEX_EXECUTABLE)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:388 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  /usr/share/cmake-3.5/Modules/FindFLEX.cmake:230 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
  CMakeLists.txt:84 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I have even tried installing clang manually, but all to no avail.

cmake clang doxygen

Just now, I used the Ubuntu software updater to install a bunch of updates, and now I cannot log into my account. Unfortunately, I can't remember which programs were updated and I can't get into my account to check. When I enter my password, the login screen takes me to a giant command terminal, but the error messages scroll by much too quickly to be able to read them. (The Guest account can be accessed fine, however.)

My question is, how can I revert all these updates without being able to get into an administrator account? Or is there another way to get back in without knowing any very specific details about what the problem is? My computer is a System 76 laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

EDIT: I managed to use the command line and the startx command to log in, but I still can't do much except open command terminals...and those terminals can't find simple commands like cd and it doesn't recognize the Xsession-errors file.

EDIT2: I did also manually install a couple programs since the previous restart: android studio, Segger, Kicad, Slack, and Discord. So those may also be responsible.
