"Setup.exe" is not going to run in Linux unless it's run within a Windows-like environment such as Wine.

You would need to have Wine or WineX installed to execute a Windows binary under Linux. But for Quake 3 Arena, you should not need to, because Id Software provides a native Linux binary to run the game.

This how to might help you: linuX-gamers.net - your linux gaming resource - How-Tos - Quake 3 Arena-HowTo. I'm sure there are others, as well.

Have fun!
