You can't run a Windows executable (exe file) on Solaris.

A Solaris device driver should never be packaged as an "exe " executable.

That would be for the Microsoft Windoze multiverse.

You may have inadvertantly retrieved the wrong file when searching for a driver to download.

But ...

You didn't describe what hardware you own.

You didn't mention whether you'd researched it on the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)

If the component can run under Solaris, the HCL will say it does.

If there's a 3rd party driver required, the HCL will have a link to it.
