Mark the file as executable with:

chmod +x filename.exe

you can then run it

I have tried each of these files. Some of these I also placed path way on some of these commands thinking it would hoping that it would find it. I am wondering if for some reason it can not see things in the down load file?

ray@ray-T-1625:~$ chomd+x file:///home/ray/Downloads/PacketTracer532_setup_no_tutorials.exe
chomd+x: command not found
ray@ray-T-1625:~$ chmod +x PacketTracer532_setup_no_tutorials.exe
chmod: cannot access `PacketTracer532_setup_no_tutorials.exe': No such file or directory
ray@ray-T-1625:~$ chmod + PacketTracer532_setup_no_tutorials.exe
chmod: cannot access `PacketTracer532_setup_no_tutorials.exe': No such file or directory
ray@ray-T-1625:~$ chmod +x file:///home/ray/Downloads/iTunesSetup.exe

ray@ray-T-1625:~$ chmod +x iTunesSetup.exe

Hi Ray McGee,

It seems you got wrong working directory.
Try these commands:
ray@ray-T-1625:~$ cd Downloads
ray@ray-T-1625:~$ chmod +x PacketTracer532_setup_no_tutorials.exe
ray@ray-T-1625:~$ ./PacketTracer532_setup_no_tutorials.exe

Hopefully that will help you...

iTunes may not work, it's a real pain to get nice. I'd check the appdb for compatibility. Why do you need to run GenuineCheck.exe?

Thanks that solved the problem but what did ./ mean execution what?

cd means change directory.
chmod means change mode bits, in the case the executable mode (or flag, if you prefer).
. means the current directory.
.. means the parent directory.
So when you write ./blabla you are asking for the file blabla in the current directory, instead of an installed program named blabla.

./ tells the interpreter to look in the current directory for the command. Otherwise the shell will start checking the folders defined in the PATH variable.
