Do it under Windows

My new blog. It's probably not as good as I think it is.

Since Linux doesn't run .exe files, I think your options would be to either use Windows, WINE, or some kind of virtualization technique.

More specifically, EXE is a Windows format. Linux does not understand them. Even if Linux did, they are filled with Windows-specific functions and code. What WINE does is to translate EXEs into a format Linux understands, and provides implementations for these Windows-specific things, so that Linux can execute them.

You can run exes under GNU/Linux, bus you need to install either Wine or a virtual machine to do so.
