It is up to the server to decide whether an EXE file in the browsable webspace, is to be 
downloaded or executed. There is a setting in Apache that allows EXEs to execute on the 
server instead of downloading them to the client. From my Apache local server access script :-

# To allow execution of cgi scripts in this directory uncomment next two lines
AddHandler cgi-script .bat .exe .pl .cgi .dll
Options +ExecCGI

It sounds like you need to contact the server's administrator.
