Hello,

1 - Remove GNU/Linux

  I think an MSI file can only be used under Windows. To install software under Linux, you need to use "sudo apt-get install software". For example (for example), if you want to install VLC (a powerful media player):
  sudo apt-get install vlc
  
  tell us what kind of software you want to install and we will tell you which one you need...

  It's a file that will allow me to see if there are people who are not using my Wi-Fi; I downloaded it from this site http://www.zamzom.com.

  To see this, you don't need any exotic software designed for Windows, you just need to look in the configuration of your box.

Hi,

I think you still have the wine solution.

  Wine cannot run software that has dependencies; Wine is only effective for simple .exe programs.
