executable bit


I am running Wine 1.2.2 under Ubuntu 10.04.
While trying to install a windows program I get an error saying " xxxxxxxx/setup.exe is not marked as executable". I am installing the program from the original CD ROM. How do I get around the "executable bit"?. The program is "Printmaster" which is in the list of programs successfully installed by Wine.

Check your fstab or type mount and see the options it's mounted with. My guess is that it was mounted with the noexec option. You can remount it with.

Code:
mount -o remount,exec /your/device /your/path

.exe programs run with wine. I could be way wrong on this but the file isn't being executed by linux as such. I know I have never ever set any permissions on C:\ drive. I usually put it where wine install is. ./wine in home.
