The Linux IC D/L from MSFT is a self-extracting .EXE, and
must be run on a 64 bit instance of Windows (ie run it on your Hyper-V host).
After it extracts you'll get a readme PDF with installation instructions and an
.ISO file containing the actual Linux IC bits that can be attached to a Hyper-V
VM's virtual DVD drive.
<might also be worth noting that support for the Linux
ICs is provided by MSFT via the 'Newsgroups' link within the Linux IC project
on connect.microsoft.com>

I downloaded the Linuc IC’s from
the Microsoft site
https://connect.microsoft.com/Downloads/DownloadDetails.aspx?SiteID=495&DownloadID=17069
but the file is an EXE file
which windows does not recognize. Any idea what this is?

Citrix Project Satori is the result of a collaborative
agreement between XenSource and Microsoft, and was carried forward after
XenSource was acquired by Citrix Systems. The base Satori components are
released by Microsoft as the Linux Integration Components for Hyper-V, and
provide support for paravirtualized XenLinux guests running on Hyper-V. The
Linux Integration Components can be downloaded here.
The complete source code and license information (GPL version
2) on this project is now available at http://www.xen.org/download/satori.html.
