PC-DOS/MS-DOS/DR-DOS, MS-Windows, and .NET (Mono) executable files all use the .exe extension, and have the same magic cookie bytes in their header.
This program will look deeper into the headers to identify the type of executable file you have, and run the appropriate helper program to start that program.
It is meant as a binfmt handler for Linux.
You can also associate .exe files with it, from a desktop environment like Gnome.
make start.exe
sudo cp start.exe /usr/bin/
sudo restorecon /usr/bin/start.exe
sudo cp binfmt.exe.conf /etc/binfmt.d/start.exe.conf
sudo restorecon /etc/binfmt.d/start.exe.conf
sudo cp start.exe.desktop /usr/share/applications/
sudo restorecon /usr/share/applications/start.exe.desktop
