  • Use Wine for that. – edwinksl Sep 27 '16 at 22:21

  • Not all windows programs will work with Wine. programs that rely on device drivers for example will not work. With 'regular' windows programs YMMV. Basically try wine as suggested and if it works then great, if not you may need to look at running the program in a windoze virtual machine – GrannySez Sep 28 '16 at 05:51
