i get this error!!! The file '/home/joelp/Downloads/CombatArmsDownloaderV53.exe' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.

Lawl, you need to mark the file as executable. I.e Open the files Preferences (from the right click menu), go to the Permissions tab and check "Allow file to run as a program"

You can't run Windows executables natively on Linux. You need to use Wine.

If you are trying to run it in Wine, I suggest posting in the Wine area (http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=313).
