How do I open an .exe file?

Trying to install a .exe program

Hello Dana,
An .exe program is a Windows application. It will not nativly run on your Mac OS machine.
You can however go through a process of making a seperate portion of your hard drive, and running a sperate license for Windows OS. Not exactly cheap, but possible if there is now Mac OS equivelent to the program you wish to run.

How can i open a ".exe" files?

I can't open files in ".exe" Could someone help me?

hey
Mac OS does not support ".exe" - file. It is actually a Windows file.
But mostly, there are more versions for another Operating Systems like Mac OS or Linux.
However, if there is no Mac version of the application of your desire available, there are some options.
You can use Boot Camp to create another Operating System on your Apple Computer.
Or you can get applications like Parallel's Desktop, which simulates another Operating Systems like Windows while your Mac is still running.
Can you tell me the name of the ".exe" application?

Opening a .exe file in itunes

I recently have purchased a printer which I want to use with my ibook. I put in a cd of a copied version of the software to install to my computer and when it showed up I double clicked the first .exe file and it automatically went to itunes. From itunes I could not find how to actually open the .exe file and therefore could not install the software needed to use my printer. I am just wondering how I can open a .exe file and install my software when it goes to open in itunes. Thanks!

Mac OS X probably includes the necessary software; those items are Windows executables, and unless they're self-extracting zips, you need to set up Windows through Virtual PC to use them on an iBook; even if you do set Windows up, they won't install anything into Mac OS X.

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How could a button open a EXE file in any position?

How could a button open a EXE file in free position?
I am very confused, I am searching the issue for two days, I just could use fscommand function open a EXE file in a fixed opsition, where must be in the same root with the .swf(change into .exe form at the same time). but how I open the target in a position where I want? Is that possible in Flash?

well you can publish the the other FLA, which would give you
an HTML file, upload that and the SWF then link to the SWFs' HTML

How to open up .exe files

Is it possible to open up .exe files on my mac? If so, how do you do so? Or what program is required?

There are two other options. You can get Parallels and then run windows under it. You could also install BootCamp and run windows under it.

How to open an .exe file

Please forgive me for posting this question. I've spent time looking for an answer in the boards here and haven't found anything that works for me.
I need to open and .exe file that I know is a flash style game that I need to see for work. I don't need a full Windows emulator. Everything I've tried so far doesn't work. Crossover, Filejuicer, Tgemu, they don't work.
I'm not familiar with the whole emulator process, I just need a simple and hopefully free program that will run a game for me.

As others have said, there is no such thing an Intel G5.
Use this article to identify your iMac:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301724
If you have an Intel iMac, then you can run:
Apple's Bootcamp
Parallel's Workstation
CrossOver Mac
DOSBox
VMWare
Wintel by Open OS X
Open Darwin's DarWINE
iEmulator
Q (QEMU) by Kberg
If you have a G5 iMac, you can only run:
Wintel by Open OS X
Open Darwin's DarWINE for PowerPC
iEmulator
Q (QEMU) by Kberg
Lismore System's GuestPC
Microsoft VirtualPC
Only WINE and Crossover solutions require no Windows installation.
As for running games, Intel Macs have much better graphics acceleration in certain virtualization engines listed above, whereas PowerPC Macs (including G5s) have none. Thus if you have don't have an Intel iMac, I'd get one, or another Intel Mac to test your game, if it requires any graphics acceleration.
WINE/Crossover has very limited application support, thus if you've tried your game on it, and it doesn't work, contact CrossOver and report the bug, if you have an Intel iMac, that they need to fix CrossOver to make it work. Unfortunately you may have to run Windows on your Mac to run the game. I would mention to the game developers, they should seriously consider crossplatform programming software such as Revolution, or RealBasic, or Flash, or Sun Java. Microsoft Java, ActiveX, DirectX, Visual Basic are not crossplatform, and are more subject to viruses and spyware.

I cannot open any.exe file in my laptop and not even cmd.

I cannot open any .exe file on my laptop running windows 8.1 pro. When i click on it it asks how do i want to run it. I cant open command prompt, task manager and even registry editor. In the file explorer, when i navigate to any exe file it shows "%1"%*
in the file type column. I think it is a problem with the registry. Please help me.

Hello,
I'd ask in the
Windows 8.1 forum on Microsoft Community.
As the Microsoft Community is on a different platform, we cannot move the question for you.
Once there, click on Participate near the top of the screen, and select 'Ask a Question' or 'Start a Discussion':

How can I open a cc2014 file in my cs6 version of Indesign ?
I have several files that has been saved in a cc2014 version and I can't open them in my CS6 version of Indesign.
I don t have access to anyone who have the cc 2014 version to convert the file.
How can I do it from my cs6 version?
THANKS!

You can't do it from CS6.
You have to export to IDML from InDesign CC2014 (or whatever the version it was created in) and then open the IDML in the earlier versoin of InDesign.
All explained in the FAQ on the main forum page.

Make the tab control a control and not an indicator. If you want to write
to it you need to create a local variable.

You want Photoshop or Elements and use the ACR plugin. Lightroom is the wrong application for you; square peg in a round hole and all that.

I have a new IMAC with a Maverick platform (I can update to Yosemite). I did all graphics on a G5 Power PC (very old), in Freehand (very old)... How can I open old Freehand files on this new Mac? Can I still open and work in Freehand on this new Mac?

Let me see if I've gotten this right! You want to remove an account from BOTH machines? Do this for your new machine first, then for the other.
Click the Apple logo on the top left of the screen, System Preferences, Users and Groups (under Systems), unlock the lock in the window if its locked (you need to know the password), select the user that you wish to remove, and click the - sign next to the + sign for Login options. A window will pop up with some options. Select Delete this user and securely, and click 'Delete user'.
After this, do an update from the App Store.
Thats all there is to it.
For the other machine repeat the process except for one thing. Before you delete the user in this case YOU, you will have to give Administrator priviledges to your son bu checking the box 'Allow user to administer this computer'.
Do NOT do anything from Finder ... if you dont know how to fix the consequences of the problems caused.
There is no need to unauthorize your iTunes account on your new machine. Do it on the old machine though.
