I am not sure, but i would guess that EXE simply cannot be accessed 
with this technique
which works for iamges and other files you can "use" inside of MC...

I would put the "cached" EXE into a (temporary) binfile on disk and 
launch THAT file...

...
put url"http://www.xyz.com/folder/file.exe" into url("binfile:" & 
someplace_on_disk)
open process someplace_on_disk for neither
...

Not tested, but surely worth a try :-)
