stall on Linux?
Install the Bit torrent and VMware Workstation,JAva and also the Netbeans other Windows .exe files
Not a single one of those things should ever be done in this way. All of them are native on Linux. You don't need Wine at all. Why do you feel that you would use Windows executables for any of these?
Java specifically should never need that, it is native everywhere. That's it's thing. And Netbeans runs on Java, so is naturally native to Linux, too. Bit Torrent and Java are both built into Ubuntu, so you have those already. You just need to install Netbeans.
VMware Workstation you actually don't want, skip that and use VirtualBox which is built in and ready to go.
Literally everything you need is already there and ready for you. Skip Wine and everything will "just work."
Running VMWare Workstation on top of Wine (which is a Win32-API emulator / wrapper) must be an ... interesting experience
LOL,that would be quite the disaster, I'm sure.
You'll probably get a job at VMWare when you get that running... or a lawsuit

What's crazy is... even if you have Wine... of course you download the Linux version of VMware Workstation. It's not unique to Windows.

@scottalanmiller I found a link for downloading the Wine package which to be installed after downloading the package from this site

But we have determined that you have no use for Wine. Why are you even looking at Wine?
-
@scottalanmiller This is the new information which is irrelevant but found the solution to download the OS

Do you mean that you are not going to use Wine now?

@Reid-Cooper In future if needed to test with any .exe files means i may download for that reference i have mentioned here

Important to note that Wine does not work with everything, just some things from Windows. And you only want to do this in extreme cases. I've gone for decades using Linux either as my main system or a key system and have never once actually used Wine outside of just playing with it to see it work. It's not something you want to use if you can help it in any way.

I hate having to use Wine. Avoid it when you can.

@Reid-Cooper I accept both Scott and Reid Advise not to use the Wine in Future

There are times that it is worth using.... just not very many of them.
