.exe files are Microsoft Windows Executable files, that can only run on Microsoft Windows. They cannot be run on the iPad, so Safari doesn't download them.
The place to get apps for the iPad is the App Store - have a search, there'll probably be something that can do what you need. Out of interest, what are you trying to do? I may be able to suggest an app.
Hope that helped!

The iPad must be jail broken so you could install safari download manager and safari Download plug-in directly from Cydia. When you open Safari after the installation you will see on the top an upside down arrow to download .rar .zip or .exe files. PS : iFile (from Cydia) helps a lot to browse your device via iPad

No, no, no! I have exactly the same question, how to download an exe file on ipads with safari. I know perfectly the difference between Running and Downloading a file. Of course iOS doesn't know how to open an exe and other MS / whatever files, but this is no reason to poke at "what kind of file I'm trying to get?" . My ipad is my only mobile internet device and I need it now to download some files for my PC. What is wrong with that??? WTF is this mac's inquisitive policy??? I want a working solution please.

I'm trying to download some games but every time I do I get a message that safari cannot download this file what do I need to do?

You could check to see if there are apps available for the games your are trying to download. The iPad doesn't support many of the files you may be used to on your computer.

If there is a specific game you're looking for, leave a comment below and I will be more than happy to try and help to find an iPad compatible version.

Hope that helps!

Why wont safari let open office download?

You have to download an app for documents like Open Office to download and open on your iPad. Safari won't let you download certain files from the internet. Apps like Downloads HD are one of those apps that lets you download almost anything from your iPad and open it from within the app or from another app that can open that file you downloaded.

I have an iPad. I like to download "silverlight".

Microsoft Silverlight is a plugin that only works on some desktop browsers. It is never going to be supported in Safari, because it is rapidly becoming outdated - content providers should be using more modern, efficient and faster technologies. Depending on what you are trying to do, there may be a native way of doing it - search for it in the App Store.
You cannot download IE because Microsoft do not make IE for the iPad. You cannot run MS Windows programs (.exe files) on the iPad. If you don't want to use Safari to browse the web, just search 'browser' in the App Store, and you'll find soma alternatives.
Just remember: The App Store is the only place you can get apps for your iPad!
Hope that helped!
