But I can assure you this reverse engineering process is far from being perfectioned. Probably the C++ decompiler will only work in exe files compiled from C++ source. So here you have a new problem and that is, how do you know the language in which the exe file was initially written? The link you provide says the following.

Decompilation is not always successful for a number of reasons. It is not possible to decompile all programs, and data and code are difficult to separate, because both are represented similarly in most current computer systems. The meaningful names that programmers give variables and functions (to make them more easily identifiable) are not usually stored in an executable file, so they are not usually recovered in decompiling.

So there you have it, the most probable thing is that you're fucked up and you won't see a tiny piece of code that's readable. Think about what could happen if all programs could be decoded, all software would be opensource, there will be no Microsoft, no Google, Internet would probably be a total anarchy.
