Hello,

If you want to run a windows application on linux, you need to install wine:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

You can also search in the wine application database to see if your program is working with wine.
In your case it is working it seems:

I'm guessing that is a windows program. Is that correct? And that you are trying to run it in Ubuntu?

Short answer is you can't. Windows programs are for windows and Linux programs are for Linux.

Longer answer, you can try to set up wine and then use it to run your supergoo. Wine in an emulation program and will allow a lot of windows programs to run in Linux.

To install wine, click on applications -> add/remove and then search for wine. Make sure to select the show "all available applications" option. Check it and install it. Then run wine and run or install supergoo. I've never actually used wine but a lot of people say it's great. There is no guarantee that supergoo will run in wine but it's your only option.

Even longer answer, you can run windows in a virtual machine and then your program will work as normal. However, if you are going to go that route you might as well just boot windows.

Hope that helps. Sorry it's not the answer you were probably looking for.
