windows programs don't run on linux, it's a different operating system completely. setup.exe is *not* your friend here. check here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy

and please use a decent thread title next time eh?

Another suggestion, don't use so many abbreviations. In case you hadn't noticed, the computer world is very precise, every word you leave out may hinder the forum from figuring your problem out.
