If it's a Windows application, it's not going to install nor run natively on a Mac. You'll need to ask the developer if they make a Mac version of that application. If they don't, then the only option you would have for running that app on your Mac would be with a virtualization system such as Parallels Desktop or if an emulation environment such as CrossOver would be able to run it.


Regards.
