  It's not on my machine either.  Which leads me to the conclusion
that it isn't required to be available under Windows, which I kind-of
expected anyway.

   If you cant run *any* .exe file then Windows simply will not start.
Which leads me to feel that the problem may not be as stated.
   I assume you haven't seen said machine to verify the exact problem,
so in your place I'd either go and see it, or if not practical, point
the owner at his dealer, or entice a more accurate description of the
fault from him/her.

   Regards,
         Harry.
