1. Should I be worried?

More info about Run.exe
Run.exe is a little program that calls other program and then immediately closes itself. Tkabber-Pack uses it to call Wish (the Tcl/Tk interpreter) without having a command-line window open all the time.
It seems Run.exe was included in XEmacs, Cygwin/X, and Cygutils in the past, but is no longer included in any of those packages. You can see the run.c source file in XEmacs CVS. It was removed from XEmacs on Juny 2000 and was last included in XEmacs 21.2.34 (download source code)
So the warning you receive is real: Run.exe executes other program (Wish.exe from Tk). You already knew it. You can see the source code, compile it yourself and replace the stock Run.exe with your own.
