They've gotten very clever about workarounds.

See: http://imgur.com/a/y4Lxz

Tried tar, gzip, even uuencode. Then taking "exe" out of the file name with the uuencoded version.

Edit: Shell archive works! apt-get install sharutils;shar file.exe > file.exe.shar

Very nice to know - I wonder how long this workaround will last.

Have you tried the -mhe option in 7zip?

Shell archive is self extracting, though not on the desired OS :)
