Is there a way to install a keyboard that was programmed for Windows?

Hi Steven,

forget about the .exe's, they will only work with windows.

What you need is making all or (at least some) additional keys working 
with Linux.

For a start, I would look here:
http://www.learnlinux.co.uk/E/technical_notes/ln0015.htm
and
http://linuxgazette.net/104/brown.html

Although those articles are not brand new, they are a good start.

Additionally this should work:

Kind regards and have a happy new year
