You can run a Windows program on Debian or any other Linux system using
Windows emulator on Linux called "WINE". If you have installed Debian in
the terminal type:

apt-get install wine

and then, in order to run your Windows program type:

wine yourwindowsprogram

it will work fine and will successfully emulate Windows programs to run
under Linus.

Cheers,
