It believe it tries to execute according to the "autorun.inf" file,
which is what is launched when you put the CD in while running Windows
This obviously does not go well.

This is just the handling for "x-content/software" which is detected
by the presence of the above-mentioned "autorun.inf", the suggested
addition of a content type would allow us to override this and
provide a better experience.
