Even when I've associated files of the type DOS/Windows-executable
with Wine I still get the error. This is of course not bad, we don't
want everything to be executable right away, but you can't change the
executable flag on CDs as you can on regular harddisks. Therefore you
cannot make Windows executables open with Wine in Nautilus. However,
the command 'wine' will execute the Windows-executable with Wine even
when it's executable flag is off.
