Along with being .EXE files, executables are entirely different from
.apk files.  While .exe's include actual binary code in a specifically
structured binary format (along with file header, etc...), .apk are a
zip file, with resource defs, a manifest, and a dalvik bytecode file,
and even this code isn't executable, it has to be interpreted / (jit)
compiled by the vm..

And on top of that an .exe almost certainly includes dynamic
references to libraries not included on Android..

So basically, going from .exe to .apk is impossible.
