Help! I need to run a .exe program on my Mac, do I use Parallels? If so, how?

I need to run a .exe software on my Mac. I was told to use Parallels in order to run it. I've downloaded the free trial for Parallels and put in the key. But everytime I try to convert the software, it will say "Failed to convert the virtual machine". What do I do?! Should I use Bootcamp instead?

    You need to install windows on your mac in order to run an exe file. Either use the Parallels trial you have or use bootcamp. Either way pure going to need a windows install disc and a valid license.
