Just as a general warning... Because of the things that can be hidden inside of them, many folks don't like ".exe" files. I for one, won't run an .exe unless it's from a commercial merchant, or someone I know and trust. Several months ago, I found a .dll file stashed amongst the goodies in a zip file. There was no "good" reason for it to be there, and I had a chance to ditch it because I could open the .zip and look inside before installing. Unless there is a utility out there that gives folks the option of looking inside an .exe before installing, I wouldn't recommend installing an .exe from a free-site.
