x11-forwarding

Ok, so if I have two Linux Machines (A and B) and I have a program on one, and want to run it on be I do:

user@LinuxA:~$ ssh -X LinuxB
user@LinuxB:~$ programName

(Displays on LinuxA machine)

Ok same thing, WindowsA LinuxB (Program on Linux)

Start Xming X Server on Windows
Run Putty, use x11 port forward with :0.0
After connect to LinuxB, run program, it loads in Windows!

Now here is the question, WindowsA LinuxB, (Program on Windows)

Run Windows Program On Linux, using a windows resources.

How to make it work? BTW, I know it can because years ago, I read a white paper on it, but never actually tested it out.
