Typically, a .exe file found on Linux could be a mono application, getting the .exe extension as a convention coming from the Windows/.Net world. The other aspect that can happen when you want to "run" a file is to have the file explorer tool that you use register extensions to be able to launch a program that will open these files.

In Windows there are hooks in programs and the OS that EXE files make calls to that just won't be there in Linux. Because of the differences in both the environments. Initially Linux looks for permissions, and Windows looks for a linkable format first by examining the extension, looking at properties, and then looking inside the EXE file, etc.

This is totally normal. .exe files are Windows executables, and are not meant to be executed natively by any Linux system.

This happens because the file you attempt to open is a Windows .exe, which means that the file format follows the PE (Portable executable) which Linux doesn't handle. Linux executables are in a file format called ELF (Executable and Linkable Format).

To run a .exe program you first need to install Wine. To do so you can follow the Official Wine installation tutorial for Ubuntu, or this AskUbuntu post. Then you need to open a terminal, go to the directory where you stored your .exe file and run wine your_file.exe. Some programs don't work properly, others don't work at all.

Files with .exe extension are normally Windows executables and are designed to work on Windows. Ubuntu in general case can't run Windows executables, just as Windows can't run Linux or MacOS executables.

Aug 20, 2015 · An executable file is linked to system libraries that provide most of the functionality that allows the program to interact with the system. As systems are very different from each other, libraries vary, and a program for say, Linux, cannot be run on FreeBSD despite the latter using also ELF, because they are not linked to the same libraries.
