There are multiple issues with such .exe files; some of them I was able
to resolve in attached modified version of gnome-exe-thumbnailer.sh.

Problem: There are some icons in the file, but none of them is 32x32 or 
smaller. 
Example: OcsLogon.exe (from OCS Inventory NG)
Solution: Use 48x48 resized to 24x24 (resizing to 50% leads to acceptable 
results).

Problem: There is no sane version number in the version number resource.
Example: XviD-1.0.3-20122004.exe
Solution: Just fix my stupid mistake. :)

Problem: icotool reports "compressed image data not supported".
Example: peazip-3.2.1.WINDOWS.exe
Possible solution: Use patched icoutils 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511944); yet to be done.

Please, put the downloaded script in /usr/bin as root and run "nautilus
-q; rm -r ~/.thumbnails; sleep 1; nautilus" as a normal user and let me
know about the results.
