Please show us your script - the part where it tries to run the executable.

Watch the $PATH or use absolute path: /abc/xyz/bin/yourfile.exe

There are two ways.

1) First set your bin path to the $PATH env variable.
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/abc/xyz/bin/

Then you can run the exe from your script by just calling the name.

2) Call the exe using the absolute path from the script
