WINE is an win32 API emulator. It can run some (not all) windows files 
natively. WINE can be via issuing "sudo apt-get install wine" and after 
installing wine, just right click on any windows .exe file and choose "open 
with wine" that's all............


PS: If yuor intention is to play games using wine, consider installing 
playonlinux. Visit www.playonlinux.com for details. It uses wine but 
preconfigured to install various components (DirectX,.net framework,fonts) 
automatically when installing a game.
