Blocking .exe files download is pretty trivial configuration in Fortigate EXCEPT for it to be effective you HAVE to enable Deep SSL Inspection as 99% web traffic (including file downloads) today are via HTTPS. Here is someone did video of how to configure the file filter itself, but again - main complexity is using Deep SSL inspection which is pre-requisite. Have you enabled Deep SSL inspeciton?
