If you have them installed, right click on the file and choose properties. There should be a compatibility tab that will let you choose an older version of windows to run it on. Also running as administrator can sometimes fix it too.

Sometimes you have better luck running old Windows stuff on Linux through WINE than on modern Windows. And sometimes you don't, it really depends.
