"info.exe" seems to hint that you use a DOS or Windows port of
Texinfo.  If so, the following command, if typed at your shell's

  for %f in (*.info *.info.gz) do install-info %f

You should type this from the directory where you keep your Info
files.

For this to work, you need a port of gzip to be installed and be
somewhere on your PATH.
