A .exe files are for Windows only. So if you want VLC on Ubuntu, you'll have to install it the Linux version. You can find & install it easily using Synaptics.

Although it's possible to use WINE to run Windows applications on Linux, it's not a good solution since there is a native version of VLC available.

and on a dual boot DO NOT SET THE WINE default directory as your Windows Drive

it can mess up the windows regestery if you do that


Install the Linux version of VLC
