        What are you trying to use to download the exe files?

        If it's from your web browser try right clicking on the link and then choosing "save as". If this still doesn't work, your browser options may be set to prevent downloading exe files for "security reasons" (ie- to prevent virii that often are transmitted as exe files).

        Cliffnotes for the impatient- maybe loosen up your security settings and see if that helps
