Did you know that you can actually run windows executable program (*.exe) on lubuntu linux? In this article i will show you how to run windows program from inside lubuntu.
To do this we are going to need an emulator called wine, to install wine all you have to do is run this command:
sudo apt-get install wine
Wine package is quite big, so be patient if you have slow internet connection.
kernelpanic@lubuntulaptop:~$ sudo apt-get install wine

Once wine is installed, you can run windows program (.exe) on lubuntu, but first you need to give permission to windows program so that it can be run via wine emulator.
For example i have program called setup.exe, to give permission to execute, i type this command on my console:
sudo chmod +rx setup.exeBut in some cases this is not necessary, in some program you can just double click and it will works, but if wine shows error message then you must give permission first.
Keep in mind that there is no guarantee that all windows program will works on linux/lubuntu using wine emulator.
