I have run into similar problems myself (installing a DLL via a makefile causes the loss of the execute permission in my case. No idea why.) To do this, select the file in question in Windows Explorer and press the right mouse button. You need the security tab and the permissions are best set to "ful control" - more than necessary, I guess, but easiest.
