    In wine or Vista?

    In wine, it is
    Code:
    msiexec /i programname.msi
    In Vista you would just double click it.

    Just because you use a distribution, doesn't mean everyone uses the same one.
    There is no need to login to the GUI as root!

    You will either need to copy some files over from Vista, or possibly run "winecfg" and set the program (or the default, it is up to you) to be "Vista".

    Of course, it is possible that the program will not work at all, so you may need to take that into consideration as well.
