Does it? I've just disabled the executable bit from a .exe which I have and the command "wine program.exe" still works perfectly.
And, even with wine installed on my system and the executable bit enabled, executing directly the file (with "./program.exe") does not work at all. I don't think I understand in which way changing the executable bit could affect wine users. -- NTFS and FAT partitions mounted with executable bits https://launchpad.net/bugs/78505 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
