Assuming you have a license for MS Windows if one is required and 
enforced by your nation state (it is in the USA, EU, etc.), a very 
effective alternative is to load Oracle VirtualBox (licensed for free), 
load MS Windows under VirtualBox, and then install whatever MS Windows 
applications you need within MS Windows under VirtualBox.  Unlike Wine 
that has some issues with executing various MS Windows applications, if 
the application runs in the release of MS Windows you have, it will run 
under MS Windows under Virtual Box.
