.exe is a Windows file, not a Linux file.
The program may or may not run if you install Wine.

Hi kityip,
Welcome to Linux Forums.
Normally, .exe files are for Windows/Dos only, but if it's just a compressed file you can use Wine to unzip them. You might have to install Wine to use it. Good Luck.I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

You can also tell the name of this program. Maybe there exists a similar or equal native replacement package for it.
Debian GNU/Linux -- You know you want it.
