I'd start by looking at ftp://ftp.vbridges.com/pub/releases/...ers-Guide.html. I'd look through the user guide and see what they recommend as the correct install path based on your distribution. You might find it easier to install the Win4Lin package by using the CNR application utility provided free with Freespire. Check here for more instructions on using CNR

Go and install vmware.com free virtual machine server. You will have to have a fully licensed and paid for Windows Operating system client. That way the windows software you install will think that it is running on a real Windows machine.
