You could try running it under wine

http://www.winehq.org/

You can check under the AppDB section - someone may have tried already and may have tips for you

Hy Bob Havoc,

in case Wine doesn't work you can also try the folowing:

Qemu with KQemu (Free)
Emulator for Win95 and Win98, WinME, Win2000, WinXP, Knoppix, lots and lots of different OSes.

Win4LinPro (Not Free)
Windows emulator for Windows2000 and WindowsXP (must be with sp2 or sp1 AFIK).

VMware Workstation (Not Free)
Emulator for Windows all and lots of other OSes.

Did one of my suggestions help you out or were you able to get Wine working again?

Unfortunately I do not have the powers to change the state of this question to SOLVED, EXPIRED or INVALID. Someone here at Launchpad either grant me that permission or simply apply the change in state to this question, please.

Can you help with this problem?
