Sure is - that's the installer, so it has to be installed, but you can't 
run a Windows .exe on a Mac...

Those .exe's are usually RAR installers. Those appear if you drag them on 
StuffIt Expander, and you can expand them. Then they usually become .gig 
files, and just make sure they are in or "connected to" the Sampler 
Instruments folder via location or alias.

Just a guess, but I know that's the case with several libraries.

Don't you have the documentation for the libraries, and if you do (if you 
don't, why not?), doesn't the manufacturer cover this sort of stuff?

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
