exe files are windows files, they don't run in linux.
However you could install wine to run windows programs.

Hi i think you can run exe files. for that wine should be installed on linux. and run like
./exe

No.....

Suppose the filename is myapp.exe-----you would put it in a directory that is in your PATH variable. Then you would enter "myapp.exe".

"./exe" means "execute a file named "exe" in the current directory only".

"/*.exe" would mean "execute all files ending in ".exe" (in the current directory only.)

Also take a look at CrossOver (http://codeweavers.com) It is more user-friendly than WINE, but it costs money----but they have a free demo available.
