ls should show it with execute privelege if it is an executable file
(either a PE file, or one that starts #!).  Note that BASH can execute
files that are not actually valid shell scripts by making the assumption
that they are intended to be executed by bash, even when they don't have
an inital #!... line, so it would be advisable to check that this line
is indeed present as it sounds to me as though it isn't.

Hope this helps!
