Open a DOS box, and run the program from there.

If this is a game "demo" there should be a readme which tells you what to do to run it. I'm not accusing you of anything, but if you have downloaded a CD rip of a commercial game, we can't assist you as per our usage Guidelines 8 and 9 in the site FAQ.
