The work-around is to add `--header "Accept: */*"` to the wget2 command line.
The site interprets the `Accept:` header, which is different for wget2
(`Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8`).
Wget basically tells the web server "give me anything, I don't care".
Wget2 says "I prefer html, xhtml or xml if available, else I don't care".
To me it looks like a server misconfiguration if you request a `.exe` file and
instead get an HTML file.
Asking the maintainers of `web.archive.org` might bring some light into the
riddle.
