Linus Mint 7 Windows Emulator

I just installed Linux Mint 7 Gloria because one of my friends recommended it. He said there's a Window's emulator on it, and I can't find it. Can anybody tell me if there is such an emulator and, if there is, where is it?

 

I bet she's talking about WINE. It allows you to run Windows applications in a Linux environment. You should be able to install it through the package manager if you don't have it already.

 

Wine or VirtualBox. I am running a full XP vitrual and attempted IE7 with playonlinux and Wine. VirtualBox took some tweaking and if I leave it running will crash my system (I have 8 GB of RAM, and allocated half to Win32). Wine does not render pages fully in IE 7 so far.

VirtualBox Howto if you wish and Google will be your friend....

 

wine should be installed by default in mint, if not you can install it from the package manager as stated above, then what you'll need to do is:
open the terminal
cd into the directory you have your windows .exe file stored
type wine nameofprog.exe

wine should automatically start and run the exe
