This question already has an answer here:

I did not select []install this third-party software when installing 13.04.

Is there a way I can get those software items? Install over existing?

(I may be missing something to get Spring STS to be able to open/launch.)

Open a terminal on the Dash and type:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

Enter your password and all third-party programs that you need to be installed. With this packages you will get also some extras like Microsoft fonts.

If you need proprietary drivers, go to System Settings -> Software & Updates and choose the hive "Additional drivers".

Ok. I appreciate the knowledge. Hopefully it will not slow my start-up / re-booting down. But you did provide an answer to my question. – David May 3 '13 at 20:32
    
So, actually I may need the 'Wine' program to open a .exe? Is that included in the ubuntu-restricted-extras? – David May 3 '13 at 21:37
    
This third-party only include drivers and software a normal users require. Wine won't be in that. – Satya Prakash Nov 7 '16 at 12:13
