Those .exe files are often self-extracting archives - which should be

<filename>.exe' to see if it will open it.

There are other types of self-extracting archive. I'm pretty sure rar
ones are common and that they can be extracted by unrar, and I think
some are compatible with cabextract. The "file" utility should tell you
if it's a SEA which Linux can read.

I think I've also had some inside a .cab file, which cabextract dealt
with quite easily.
