You have to install and use wine package:

sudo apt-get install wine

then you can try to run your .exe with follofing command:

wine yourfilename.exe

I have just followed the steps mentioned above; wine 1.1.2 installed well but the first .exe file that I tried to run--testmh240.exe could not be opened so I'll experiment with some more .exe files.
