You should try WINE it can use .exe files, and more then likely you can run those main programs on WINE also

To install Windows XP back you more than likely will need WINE anyways because other wise Ubuntu wont run .exe filesnwhich is the format for the installation discs. Good luck.

Reboot with the Windows CD in the drive. You don't need to run setup.exe from within Ubuntu.
