.exe support in Ubuntu. Please Help me..
Hello Nahid,
Well as you are pretty aware about Linux OS that its previous version could not install any exe(windows) files, but the version of Ubuntu 10.04 comes with various alternatives and it also installs and runs windows .exe files through WINE application.
So all you got to do is install WINE by going in Ubuntu Support Centre.
Once you install it you can then go to any exe file right click it and select open with WINE window program and to your surprise you will see .exe file successfully installed in your UBUNTU 10.04.
All the best,
Thanks.
