Create a hidden iframe with a src attribute pointing to the file that needs to be downloaded. Keep in mind, however, that the src value needs to be a file that is accessible to the client, such as going to a domain. http://www.somedomain.com/thefile.exe

To get a user to download an exe file, you simply need to point them to the url with something like 

window.location = 'http://admin.redenetimoveis.com/Supremo.exe';

As per the comment below, simply make an anchor tag that points to the file:

<a href="http://admin.redenetimoveis.com/Supremo.exe">Download Executable</a>
