It depends if your exe file supports browser links via a specific protocole.

For example, this is used to launch skype with JavaScript 

window.location = 'skype:user?chat';

This would be possible using an link or similar. If the executable you wish to run is a program your company requires the user to download and install from your site, you could also try installing a file system handler.

Both of these ways require user permission (which is an obvious necessity for security reasons).
