Answer 1

It looks like you're trying to execute a .exe file, which is only runnable on the Windows operating system. Heroku's platform is Linux-based, which means you won't be able to run that .exe file.

If you're willing to do some work, you might be able to get the .exe file running by building a custom Heroku Buildpack that includes wine, but this depends on a lot of variables: what libraries your Windows executable relies on, etc.
