Hi.
You could try WINE. Right click the .exe file and select "open with wine". Ofcourse keep in mind that WINE is not an emulator. There is no guarantee that it will work with software/applications that were built specifically for windows. You could try though.

I don't recall what version of wine is installed in Zorin 6.1 but in case you don't have the lastest stable one (1.4), you can install it as follows:
Open terminal and run
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install wine1.4

1.5 is indeed the latest version but it is not the most stable one. 1.5 is unstable.

In case ofcourse you want to install the 1.5, you just change the last command to
Code:
sudo apt-get install wine1.5
