Hi I have a linux tarball (.tar.gz)

The software I have has only this format. It does not have any .exe distribution. Is there any way I can install this .tar.gz file on my xp system.

Thanks in advance..

I don't think so.
You could install a dual boot Linux distro, but I think that's the only way.
What's the program?

Never done this myself in windows but you can use PowerArchiver from www.gzip.org

I know that you can treat such as file as a compressed archive file in windows and attempt to unzip or unrar it. However, once the files are "unzipped" I don't think that there's anything that you can do with them.
