First verify that it launches correctly on your system by running it from a command line console.
If it runs, copy it to say /usr/bin
Then edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add a line to invoke the client at boot with an ampersand at the end of the line so it is launched as a background task.
BTW: You also may want to "nice" it too...
E.G.
nice CLIENT.EXE &
So that you are given back cycles when you need or want them.
As far as the google bar, I see no Linux client listed.

shame coz i want google desktop
the link was just to show what the program does
