I.e. you can't run programs that have been compiled for windows. Is this what you mean?? __________________ Registered Linux user #388328 \|\| Registered LFS user #15880 AMD 64 X2 4600+ :: 2X1GB DDR2 800 :: GeForce 9400 GT 512MB :: ASUS M2N32 Deluxe :: 4X250GB SATAII Need instant help?

To launch: To use this program, make sure that you can execute it (chmod +x FAH5-Linux.exe) and then run it ./FAH5-Linux.exe

What's not to get?

% chmod +x FAH5-Linux.exe
% ./FAH5-Linux.exe

So, as has been stated, if the file permissions are set properly, you should be able to run it directly. If not, maybe you inadvertently downloaded the windows version.

If not, please copy-paste the error. Best Regards
