1. its always best to use a native program for the os you are running. for example, instead of trying to force the windows version of firefox to run in ubuntu just use the linux version. instead of trying to force microsoft office to run in ubuntu just install open-office...
you can try to make them work with wine but my experience is that it works about half of the time. 2. not sure what you are trying to install; 99 % of the software i use i install from the distros online repository (sudo yum install gimp / sudo apt-get install mplayer) so that it installs dependencies automatically without me having to hunt them down manually. we dont have e.s.p.; if you dont show us the contents of the readme how would we be able to tell you what it means. what are you trying to install ? |
Some, but not many, M$ .exe files are "self-extracting" ZIP files. If that is the case for your "exe," you can try to open it with an archive manager. (e.g., ark, xarchiver, etc.)
If you're trying to run a M$ "exe" file, you could install wine (a Window$ system simulator) and see if that will run the file. Generally speaking, it's usually silly to try to run a program designed for an obsolete operating system like Microsoft's Windows on a modern OS. |
