The xamarin profiler looks for an exe, but I cant find any exe that is generated.

You have to install the profiler through a separated package that you can find at https://xamarin.com/profiler.

    I have installed the standalone xamarin profiler. But it expects a *.mlpd file. How to create such a file. – uma Jul 11 '15 at 17:18

I have checked that and I think it is a bug. With version 0.16 you had to navigate to your debug folder. Once there you could choose between *.mlpd, *.exe or in my case an Android *.apk file.

To validate you answer I installed the latest version (version 0.18 by now) and I can not choose anymore.

So the only way to use the profiler on Windows seems to be creating an *.mlpd file. How you can do this is described in this stackoverflow answer.

Some additional readings I would like to suggest:
