If this executable can be run with Red Hat Linux (I'm assuming that's what
you mean), then it definitely won't run here.  You can only run executables
that have been built for the Windows platform.  It's pretty much the same
issue as trying to run a Solaris executable on Linux (or HP-UX, or Windows, 
etc.)
