Not currently. Several people have asked for it, so we may pursue it in the future.

Hey @hunterk, has there been any update with this? There are a few games I played growing up that are an .exe file and would love a way to be able to play them again. If there is any information I can provide on my end to make this happen please let me know!
No change, no. We ultimately decided that making RetroArch function as a generic launcher would cause undue confusion and incentivize focusing on launcher-type features that are tertiary to RetroArch’s goals (i.e., taking our eyes off the ball).
Someone created a core that loads bash scripts, but I don’t know of an equivalent for Windows scripts: https://github.com/SwedishGojira/libretro-bash-launcher
