How can I run Windows applications in Ubuntu?

I get this error message:

Archive: /home/nicole/Downloads/iLividSetupV1.exe [/home/nicole/Downloads/iLividSetupV1.exe] End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(s) of this archive.

zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/nicole/Downloads/iLividSetupV1.exe or /home/nicole/Downloads/iLividSetupV1.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/nicole/Downloads/iLividSetupV1.exe.ZIP.

Why is ubuntu doing this?. I can no longer use my ipod, download songs, download software.

    Ubuntu is NOT Windows. It's not worse or better. It's different.

The iLivid downloader program is an *.exe, a Windows executable. You may want to look at the Wine Project if you need iLivid to download another file.

Wine Install wine is available for Ubuntu in the Software center.

Looks like you tried to open a broke zip file

Also anything that ends in .exe is a M$-Windows package, it cannot be installed on Ubuntu. You can install .debs, or use the Ubuntu Software Center application to install software.

Ubuntu is not a garbage OS, but it may not be for you.
