The solution is quite simply to remove the '.exe' - but you can't go
mv something.exe something
because it says
mv: `something.exe' and `something' are the same file
(so it's 'mv something.exe something_else; mv something_else something')
Yes - parts of MS is braindead. Not it's marketing department though.
