Installed Linux, discovered vital software won't run on it, I need to add Window - Missp Smart - 06-12-2019 I was so happy to get rid of Windows, but found out a very important program I use will not work on LinuxLite OS.  I am trying to put Windows back, as a dual boot. I downloaded the files, they show up in my "downloaded files".  I opened  "terminal", tried sudo apt-get install IE11-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe.    I get the following error: Command line option 'W' is not understood in combination with the other options.  This is a time sensitive matter.  I need this resolved within 24 hours.  THANK YOU!!!  *** I also have the Windows 7 CD, but was unable to boot from it. Re: Installed Linux, discovered vital software won't run on it, I need to add Window - supergamer - 06-13-2019 You can try to install Wine from the add/remove software and then figure out if you can install IE that way. You should google how to do this and follow the instructions. Re: Installed Linux, discovered vital software won't run on it, I need to add Window - Missp Smart - 06-13-2019 I'll check into it, thank you for some direction!

If so, I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what can only be run on IE 11.  There are many browser options in Linux.
