    All they have is an EXE file so far.

    Windows self-extracting archives tend to run quite well on Wine, the most popular application binary compatibility layer for FreeBSD and GNU/Linux operating systems.

    Or try Info-ZIP Unzip on it; <crime violates="DMCA">it sure helps when dealing with Microsoft documentation archives</crime>.
