An .exe is a Windows executable that you won't be able to run natively in Ubuntu. What you need to do is find the software in either the software centre or as a liunx package online. Take a read of the following: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware – AJefferiss Aug 21 '15 at 13:45

In Ubuntu, .exe files are not executable. These are Windows executables.
To install this, press Ctrl+Alt+T to go to a terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install scid

I don't know, but I have already installed Scid vs Pc, following an instruction I've watched in Youtube. – T. Yambao Aug 23 '15 at 08:23

This installs 4.5.1 I believe and not 4.6.x as asked for in the question. – Simd Jan 21 '19 at 20:01
