Installing a program with exe file

[Upul Godage]

Hi,

You cannot run Windows programs in Linux directly just as Linux or Mac
programs will not run on Windows.

But you can use a tool like Wine (http://www.winehq.org/) for that.  You
have to install Wine and run the Windows program on top of that.  It will
work for most of the programs.
