This bug isn't a duplicate of #91636, because this is not about "Mimetype error" of .exe files (when the filename indicates "executable", while the contents indicated "DOS/Windows executable"), but about not working launch of wine, when you click on .exe file in Nautilus. This bug occurs in Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty" - when I click on .exe file in Nautilus I get an error message:

Error: no suitable application
"Cannot open /mnt/home/!SVARBU!/SqueakPluginInstaller.exe: No application suitable for automatic installation is available for handling this kind of file."

Btw, when user double clicks on .exe file that has no executable flag set, he should be asked whether or not it want to execute the file. This question should have a remember-my-choice field that turns the executable on, if the user has the permission to do so with that file. Similar behavior is when you click on executable text file - nautilus asks if you want to execute that file or just open with text editor/viewer.
