UNIX is not an application. It is an operating system, in the same way that Windows is an operating system. Actually "UNIX" refers to any number of operating systems that share characteristics and attributes.

You seem VERY confused about what you are asking about and what you want to do.

What you can do, however is to virtualize a Linux or UNIX operating system on the same hardware as the windows install.

Ultimately, what are you trying to do?

Hi,
To do this you need to install a UNIX/Linux like environment on your system. Cygwin is one such program. I have used this it works, but it is best for interaction with other UNIX/Linux computers.

Ubuntu had a version that installed on windows as a app before. I used it was ok. I would go to DistroWatch.com and look for a distro that does this.

You could try Virtualbox, which runs anther OS as a virtual machine. It's free.

I hope this helps you
