Doesnt matter where it is, go to terminal, if not in root write su - and go to where the file is //via the terminal usind cd or cd .. when you are in the same place as where the file is write dpkg -i filename.deb

From a terminal 'whereis TightVNC' or 'locate TightVNC'. Then type the path it gives. If u use the Gnome desktop the find files is usefull for locating 'lost' apps. The programs probably not in your current path.
