Is there some script or fix for install not being able to operate on the
..exe named file when given just the basename.

A suggestion I have would be to let bash expand filenames given as
parameters before being passed to the called program.  Switches and
environment variables could be set to allow the expanded names to contain
either the forward slash path notation (default this way) or the back
slash notation.
