Even if the .exe is signed, it still relies on trusting the developer.
However, the developer could do something malicious, since any .exe will
execute with the full permissions of the calling user. On the other hand,
most other things are hosted in the browser sandbox, with limited
privileges.
You certain can ask users to download and install your .exe, but unless you
are a well known corporation, with a reputation to protect (like Microsoft,
or Macromedia), a lot of users will steer clear of your application.
