When I set chmod 755 to the exe file on the cli and starting it via ./exefile, the exe is being executed correctly with wine-auto. Nevertheless, clicking in nautilus on an exe file, it gives me your presented error message.
But, this is a behaviour we want for security reasons. Wine is also able to run windows viruses, and that's something we don't want. I'll move the bug report to nautilus, just because there is the one and only place to look for a solution.
