Try opening the software center and installing "wine", this allows you to run windows programs. Just right click the program and select open with and then wine windows program loader

I am not certain your question was fully answered...

As actionparsnip (Andrew) said: what are you trying to do? What does the application do? There may be open-source alternatives.

You need to avoid using the wine application whenever possible.

This site shows which Windows applications are compatible with wine (or not):
