You know it's been hard to make windows programs run on Linux. :(
We have software from Wine to Play on Linux. Does all of them work? unfortunately no, some programs might work but other just won't go.
As for trying and updating these apps, not many success has been reached.
you might be able to run some programs inside them but they will always have the outcome of bugs.
What do you think, your trying to run a Windows program on a non windows system, of course it's going not going to run right!
well there is always the other option, a virtual PC (a OS runs inside an OS, using virtualization)
Free ones like virtualbox from Oracle, works actually good.
to run windows inside of Linux might be your only choice for now.
What do you think?
