Not directly. You need a MS virtual machine to do that. Some EXE
files will run under the WINE emulation from what I understand, but
I've never done it. Actually there is another emulation system whose
name escapes me that is pretty good at running some stuff too.

> 2)what are the executable files in Ubuntu.

The do not have a designated ending like EXE if that is what you mean.
The are files which have the "execution bit" set in their permissions

> 3)how to install a new software in Ubuntu with out having internet?

Hmmmm, DVD I guess. But you will be very limited.

Hmmm, based on your other questions I think this one might be a bit
over your head :-)
