I've seen cases where a shell script failed in a similar manner
because the shell that it invoked did not exist.

e.g. if you have a file called foo.sh that starts like this:

#!/bin/tclsh
print $env(SHELL)

and if /bin/tclsh does not exist (maybe it can be found only at
/usr/bin/tclsh), bash will report "foo.sh: Command not found".

However I don't know what type of file a `.exe' is ...
(what does `file ./foo.exe' tell you?),...
so I can't say whether it would exhibit the same sort of behaviour.

HTH,
