Install and run Windows applications
How do I install and run Windows applications downloaded from a website? Windows applications do not run natively on Linux, but can be run using Wine. When downloading these applications from a webpage, I will have a .exe or .msi installer in my Downloads directory. What are the next steps to install these on Linux? How do I then run the installed application? How do I add it to my applications list readily available with a mouse click in my desktop environment? I should be able to use the application as if it is any other native application on my system.
