    I've got one progam that I need for work that I cannot get to run on Linux. I've tried WINE on both Ubuntu and Zorin (and winlator for android). I have the installer exe file and try to launch with WINE but then nothing happens. Is that a program problem, WINE limitation, or something else? Is there a different program I should try to launch it?

      It could be that only the installer has issues. If you're dual booting have you tried launching the already installed program from your windows partition?

      Otherwise I would try launching the installer from the wine command line to see if it gives you a specific error there.
