Greetings,

If you are trying to install and run windows apps on Ubuntu you need to get WINE. You can find it here: http://www.winehq.org/download/

Alternately, you would need to use virtual machine software such as Sun Virtualbox. http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

I suggest trying WINE first.

Sun Virtualbox.

Not intending to be pedantic but it is now called Oracle VM VirtualBox, since version 3.2.0. ;)

LOL. Of course, but you never know what knowledge-base others may possess. Sometimes it's better to use old terms and familiar names. Regardless, you are correct.:)
