To do it, you need to run in a terminal sudo apt-get install wine
once installed, you can use it to install from a cd an applicattion of windows, or a downloaded program, or also you can run if you have a partition of windows, a program from there.

You will get a new option in the menu, when you right click on an executable file .Exe, the option called "run with Wine".
But you can also add shortcuts to the desktop, putting wine as command and then the path. Or run those programs in the same way in a terminal clarifying what is the path in which they are located.

Can you help with this problem?
