Have you already installed wine and wine-doors?
If not do :

sudo apt-get install wine
sudo apt-get install wine-doors

And then go to the .exe file, right click and open with "wine windows program loader"

Thanks for the help.

Now the message I get is:
E: Couldn't find package wine-doors

No problem. Even if wine-doors isn't installed, you should be able to run .exe file the same way I mentioned.

Go to .exe file > Right click > open with > wine windows program loader

Try it

i think some sources should be enabled: multiverse/universe to install wine-doors. could you check your sources?

You can also download the package from
http://wddb.wine-doors.org/system/files/wine-doors_0.1.3_all.deb
And then install it.

But better you do it from package manager by enabling corresponding repo.

Can you help with this problem?
