Supportable files in linux
 
Does linux support .exe file?

If yes then how can i install the softwares in linux(the softwares that we use in windows xp)?


is it to be done using commands or simple double click on the setup file?

No, you can't run Windows executables under Linux (not natively, anyway). You might like to check out Wine, which allows you to run Windows executables under Linux.

Is it not possible for you to find a Linux equivalent of the software you're using? Tell us what it is you want to install and we may be able to suggest something.

You may be able to run the game with Cedega: http://www.cedega.com/gamesdb/games/...l?game_id=5161. I'm not sure if you have to pay for Cedega and I've never used it, so I can't help you further, I'm afraid.

We don't supply software...

In addition to the other suggestions, you might want to look at CrossOver ( http://codeweavers.com )
