Wine may not work with your program, to check compatiblity go to www.appdb.org and seach for your program.

Generally, exe files will not open in Linux; most exe files are Windows files, a completely different O/S from Linux (and from Mac OX X, e.g.). An exception is provided by Wine, with which I've no experience. It these files are important to you, then you need to either dual boot Windows and Linux, or run Windows from a virtual machine installed under Linux.

what is the output when you use wine to that file?

[rayz321]

i do not know it might be (wine start /unix %f) or how do you tell?

Start a terminal, go to the folder where you downloaded the .exe (cd path/to/exe), and type
wine name_of_exe

(replace "path/to/exe" with the folder where you downloaded the file and "name_of_exe" with the filename of the exe file, including the extension). Paste here the output of that command.
