[Bug 90194] binfmt_misc (win32) program leads to "No application suitable for automatic installation"

[Paul Sladen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Downloading the win32 version of Firefox and saving this to the Desktop
should mean that the file can be automatically loaded through the use of
'binfmt_misc' support with Wine.

The file is started (after having been given execute permissions by
hand) from the command line:

  ./Firefox\ Setup\ 2.0.0.2.exe

then the install loads find.  If I attempt to open this from the Desktop
using the mouse and a double click, then the message I get is:

  No application suitable for automatic installation is available for
handling this kind of file.

Ideally Nautilus should allow the executable to be run using the normal
kernel-based binfmt_misc support.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)

         Status: Unconfirmed
