wine compatibility layer icon software center, can install windows applications in ubuntu. warned though not applications work or without glitches. applications unusable, while others work (see wine application database idea of how various programs work). see how install , configure wine? install this.

once wine installed, can double click .exe or .msi file run it. if doesn't work reason, right-click file , select "open wine windows program loader". of course, run executables sources trust avoid windows malware.

if run compatibility issues, may wish try latest wine beta version ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa software source (see what ppas , how use them?).
