If you want to install windows programs ,
Use virtualbox.
Download virtualbiox from ubuntu software centre.
Install windows in virtualbox.See forums for help on installing windows inside ubuntu virtual box.
From it you can install any windows apps you want in windows(virtual).
But windows will run slower when compared to hard drive install.

You cannot run windows setup in Ubuntu because windows setup is a *.EXE file and ubuntu(by default) cannot read that file type. However, you can perform a clean install of windows by booting the Genuine Windows CD
