[alexforsdyke at hotmail.co.uk]

Public bug reported:

I hoped this would allow me to install a windows driver for a new wifi
dongle I've bought. It had a linux driver on a disc but I don't know
enough about Ubuntu to install it - so hoped I would be able to use the
.exe file for windows on the disk - thie program didn't install.
