Running Newly Installed Programs?

[W. D. Allen]

This from a Ubuntu Newbie...

After downloading and installing a program, such as RealBasic among 
others, as I browse the folder I can not determine which file I click to 
run the program. How do I determine the file in any program folder to 
start a program running, i.e., the ".exe" file? Also, how do I make a 
desktop icon for that file?

As I said - a Ubuntu newbie.

Thanks,
