Is it a windows file ? If yes, you cannot run it directly on a unix
shell script ( try wine )

if it is a unix file just with extension "exe", try "sh file.exe" or
give execute permission to the file by chmod 555 filname.exe and then
try ./filename.exe

Is it in your searchpath?

If not, then use
./StorePackedFileAccelerators.exe

Can You please rethink about your question if you have some idea about
OS's arch.

>From your context , It looks like a Windows Binary/executable file,
Can you please paste thee output of the following command to elaborte ?

# file StorePackedFileAccelerators.exe

???



Is that's just a binary file which your *NIX can recongnise, then it
really doesnot matter whether its name ends with ".exe" or whatever
try using

chmod +x <FileName.exe>
../<filename.exe

if you are really sure what You are saying , then you may consider
using "WINE" ( I myself do not reccomend that personnaly, try using
native threads of OS instead )
