1@StarOS That is wrong, Ubuntu 12.04 is supported until April 2017, no need to upgrade. – hg8 Oct 22 '15 at 08:26

Open up a Terminal by Pressing Ctrl + Alt + T
sudo apt-get install wine1.6
If you want to install Play on Linux (I recommend you have it : makes install Windows application easy.)
Install Play on Linux by typing in Terminal :
wget https://www.playonlinux.com/script_files/PlayOnLinux/4.2.9/PlayOnLinux_4.2.9.deb
sudo dpkg -i PlayOnLinux_4.2.9.deb

about to come back and edit my post but I see I don't need to because you comment that it working. – Neil Oct 22 '15 at 07:17

Now in terminal it's showing" sudo dpkg -i PlayOnLinux_4.2.9.de"What to do now/ – Rahul Raj Oct 22 '15 at 07:31

Type in sudo dpkg -i PlayOnLinux_4.2.9.deb and press enter that is just installing the latest version of play on Linux. if you can't find the shout cut for PlayOnLinux you can start PlayOnLinux by Open a Terminal and typing in playonlinux – Neil Oct 22 '15 at 07:45

I installed playonlinux which started downloading wine1.6 which was aborted so next time when i started to install wine, it displayed two options in manual installation either to install program in a new virtual drive or edit or update an existing application but both further displays an error "Wine seems to have been crashed".Please guide to take further actions. – Rahul Raj Oct 25 '15 at 05:18

For WINE my recommendation is to use latest via WINE HQ PPA at https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
The reason being its always safe to stay up to latest for more compatibility with games and other programs. WINE is being continuously developed so new games and others stuff gets added regularly.
