The exe in question is NOT a wrapper

Safer not to of course but a self loader is just a wrapper round a zip file and most unzip utilities can unzip it direct with no need to execute it.
In this case the exe is not a wrapper around a zip file. It is malware of some type - i.e., something completely unrelated to the file you want to download but which is pushed onto unsuspecting users. Best avoided.
