If the EXE is a M$ Windows type application, then yes, WINE would be the only way I know that will run that. Alternately you can use VirtualBOX or VMWare and run a virtual Windows Environment.

ok but this exe im telling u its not installing anything at all it just runs it so either way should work with wine? (its called olleydebuger take it a look if u want to know)

Unless you are running a Windows VM the only way to run a .exe file is with wine.

As wine is in the repos you lose nothing by installing it and trying it out.

It doesn't actually have to be an installer EXE. Actual program EXEs can work under WINE. Install WINE once done, run the EXE (which in this case is an application not an installer) and it should come up.
