How do you run .exe files with wine by clicking on them?

Hi, I need help with using wine on mac osx. I used to use wine on Ubuntu and Linux Mint and it was relatively simple. But on mac osx, I used macports to dowload/install wine, and i used winecfg to create a prefix. I can not figure out for the life of me how to launch an executable by clicking on it. It opens in TextEdit instead of launching in wine. Can someone explain to me how to make a .exe file launch by clicking on it? Do i have to register the filetype with wine? Wine is not in a .app format. I can run any .exe in terminal but it is less than convenient. Thanks in advance.

So wrap Wine in an application, and bind the .exe's to the wrapper application.
Platypus (free download)
<http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19870>
Can be used to turn any Unix program or script into a double clickable application, as well as a drag and drop target application.
It should be possible to wrap Wine with Platypus.
As an alternative, you might try Applications -> Automator -> Run Shell Script workflow, and save that as an application. Then bind your .exe's to that workflow you created.
NOTE: I have not played with Wine, so your mileage may vary.

Let me guess, you want your web application to run a program on the client and to your surprise that's not working?
Ain't gonna happen.
its taking more time to execute .... that's y is there any other option to execute .exe file other than Runtime.getRuntime().exec("filename");Write proper English and you may be taken more seriously.
1) it's not "taking more time to execute", whatever that's supposed to mean.
2) there's no other way to execute something. Not that you should every use even that way anyway
3) whenever you start thinking of executing external programs from Java, start thinking of not using Java in the first place.

How to run .exe files with Virtual PC for Mac

Hey Guys, I'm new around here and with mac technology as well. Anyway, I have an iMac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard and I've recently purchased the Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.2 software. So I'd like to know how to use this program properly, because I need to run some executable files in my computer. It is confusing for me because I don't know how to get started, and I only get to the part when it says "OS not found, Install an OS on this hard drive".
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that. So I'd really appreciate if one of you guys could tell me, step by step, what to do to use Virtual PC properly, and finally learn how to run .exe files on mac.
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day!

Always nice to see new faces
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that.
This brings up the second part of your problem. The first part is setting up either a proper Virtual Machine program like Parallels or VMfusion, or setting up a Boot Camp partition on your drive.
http://www.parallels.com/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
OS stands for Operating System. You are running Leopard 10.5.7 as an operating system on your Mac (MacOS X).
The second part of your problem - You will need a copy of Windows XP or Vista if you want to run Windows on your Mac.
There is at least one other solution for running Windows programs on a Mac. It's called "CrossOver" by a company named 'Codeweavers'. It's based on a project for "Wine" to be able to run PC programs on a Mac or Linux, without having to buy or install Windows. It works with a narrow subset of Windows programs so you would want to make sure the program you want to run is compatible with CrossOver before you buy it.
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
In addition to all the above information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest 10.5.7 from 10.5.1. "Software Update" is located under the black Apple icon in the Menu Bar at the top left corner of your monitor. After you are updated you will want to update your Profile here so that it shows the proper OS version.
With your level of experience with MacOS X and the Windows OS's you should probably get some help from a local Apple store. They have an appointment system and do offer many types of help and training, and they can offer assistance with choosing the proper programs for you to purchase for your machine.
You are also welcome to continue to ask questions here, of course. You will want to ask your questions with different issues that come up in different threads so that the answers stay focused on the title of the thread.

How to run .exe files with DAQ on a target PC?

Hi,
I want to run LabVIEW executable files on a target PC, where there is no LabVIEW installed. These files are used to do measurement using DAQ devices.
In order to run these .exe file, I guess that I should install both LabVIEW Runtime Engine and NI-DAQmx on the target PC. Is it right?
I'm wondering if it is mantatory to install NI-DAQmx on the target PC. I tried running .exe files without NI-DAQmx installed, but there was an error: nilvaiu.dll couldn't be found. Shouldn't this file be included automatically when building the executable files?
Thanks,
Qifu

No, none of the hardware drivers are included in the LabVIEW exe that you build. You have to install DAQmx. With LabVIEW 8.x, you can include the DAQmx driver with the installer that you create. You also have the option to install different versions of DAQmx. These different versions are smaller than the full DAQmx install (i.e. you may choose to install documentation, MAX. etc.). When you create the installer, you also inclue the LabVIEW run-time and you should also choose to install the hardware configureation that is in MAX.

How to create a .exe file with eclipse 3.1

Hello every body. I want to know how create a .exe file with eclipse 3.1. A friend tell me it's possible but he forgot how ! So I ask my question ay you, how can I do that? I think it's like in Dev-C++, when he compiling the programme he create
a .exe file but in eclipse, i don't know how do that. Please help me, I have finish some programs but I don't know how create .exe file for give their at my friend.
Thank's.
P.S : I'm a young french so maybe there are some mistake on my post. I hope you understand it.

There might be a plugin in eclipse to do this, but I don't know what it is.
The normal way to deploy a program is to create an executable jar file. This will be a .jar not a .exe.
Or you can try ggogle.

How do you run a slideshow with no music in new Photos app

In the new Photos app I can find no way of running a slideshow without music - either the standard themes or selecting my own music. How can I run a slideshow with no music at all? No setting, tab or option seems to be available to achieve this.

Hit top right arrow for slide show; click on Music, click button next to search; choose Theme songs, click on blue check mark to remove it, then hit PLAY SLIDESHOW.

How do you run Multiple Files on a single screen?

Greetings; Please only respond if you've ACTUALLY done this, no opinions requested.
I'd like to run several /.mov/mp4 files simultaneously on a single screen to simulate a 360deg view.
If I start 5 cameras filming simultaneously (front, back, left, right, rover), I'd like to sync the files, then combine the video on a single screen in large crossed thumbnails/2"X2" format. For example; Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Center images...
How can this be done in Premier...?...and then exported to a standard format...?
Again; Please only respond if you have ACTUALLY done this; no opinions please...
Thank YOU

If I start 5 cameras filming simultaneously (front, back, left, right, rover), I'd like to sync the files, then combine the video on a single screen in large crossed
When I did this type of shot before I had to do some tricky stuff....and the hardest part for me was keeping me from shooting the other cameras and those other camera operators, not to mention trying not to see all those reflections of cameras and everything in the car, especially when I flew over the roof on wire ! Eventually I got it done but I had to basiscally use space lights with skirts and diffusion and then tent the car off with silk ( this was in a large football field sized stage )...and then put little holes in the silk for the "lenses"...and then hire a lot of people to walk that silk around as the cameras all dollied on track with the movement of the silk... took forever to get the shot but it was beautiful if you squinted.
good luck !
ps...I when I edited this just like you want to do, with a lot of simutaneous screens within the frame, it looked so 3 dimensional people actually lost their balance watching it !

Question: What is the best platform to run exe files? Wine,Cedega,etc.

I've tryed Wine it takes alot of configuration that I'm not to familiar with. I would love to order a commercial version but my credit is shot for ordering software threw the internet. I wish there was a software store in my mall besides the usual stores. There's not enough support out there for Linux. Is there any good websites that describe the best way to run wine or cause I want to utilize my programs and not just my games.

I've tried both CX office and Cedega, but I don't like that much GUI help...
I prefer the raw wine configuration via regedit and winecfg, also wine is getting better and the configuration method are not that hard.
BTW the apps mentioned by thayer also work flawless under wine
Also if I need application, for which I have no linux alternative, and there is no way to run it with wine (like blizzard torrent file downloader, that Blizzard use when they release something new free for download and didn't run well on 0.9.45 (fixed now, though) I use Vbox)

How do you run the optimizer with fixed orders?

Hi experts,
If the planner wishes to prioritize orders based on the customer demand, orders should be set as fixed.
How do I run the optimizer when using fixed orders??
Regards,
Analía Nahmías

Hi Analia,
Will you please elaborate more ?
It looks you are running SNP optimizer and want to use also make use of order prioirty functionlity.
You may be knowing already the contents below :
We know that Demand Prioritization functionlity is handled differently in SNP CTM and in SNP Optimizer.
In SNP CTM, Demand can be sorted by different sort criteria.
Whereas in SNP-Optimizer, Demand can be aggregated for three demand classes or by customer locations.
We set prioirties on the SNP Optimizer profile Maintenance for demand classes ,
1. Sales orders
2. The Corrected demand forecast
3.The demand forecast
Apart from this, we can set flag for priority of location products
The optimizer considers the priority of location products in combination with the priority of priority classes of the demand. To simplify this combination, we must group the priorities of the location products into three classes.
Within every priority class as above, the APO system uses all available cost information to determine the final solution
With the above way, planner does not have to fix an order.

Datta

How do you display xml file with xlst sheet in jsp

I have an xml file with accompanying xslt file (and several images that are used in a single directory. If I doubleclick on the xml file, it displays perfectly in my browser - Formatting, images and all!
          The 100 dollar question - How do I duplicate this behavior in a JSP page in WebLogic 8.1 using the code in the xml and the accompanying xslt (formatting) file? I tried simple embedding the xml code in the jsp, but that didn't seem to work. What is the secret?
          Okay, I need to add a bit more information here. I understand that it is really easy to just redirect to the XML file. The issue is really security. I want the XML to be inside a jsp that will only allow validated users to view it.
          Another way to look at the problem would be, can I add a jsp security tag to the xml file? Or how to I add the xml code inside a jsp and keep the path references to the xslt and graphics.
          Hope the added information helps
          Thanks,
          Ken

How do you include extra files with an AIR for iOS Publish?

I've seen people mention they can include .html, .js, etc files with their iOS for AIR publish when making an iOS application from flash.
What I haven't seen is how these people include extra files (html, css, images, videos, etc) to be packaged into the IPA during publish.
How is this accomplished?

Sorry, figured it out.

Run exe file with java script in Apex

Hello All,
I have a exe file which I need to perform in Apex. I created a function by java script as fallow:
function RunEXE()
var oShell = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");
var prog = "C:\WINDOWS\test.exe";
oShell.Run('"'+prog+'"',1);
Also, I created a button to run this function by redirect to URL as fallow:
javascript:RunEXE();
but it does not provide me any answer. Could any one help me on that please!!!!
Thanks,
Atousa

No, they're it's no easy solution in java. However, it's not impossible to decompile an exe file, do there it's no real difference.
Question is, who goes to the pain of compiling lots of jar files to get to your source code?

How do you open .exe files?

Most of the stuff that I've downloaded on my computer lately has been .exe files and none of them will open? any advice?

Hi denae8,
Normally, an .exe (executable) is a Windows program/application. The only exception is if it's a .zip archive that was converted to a self extracting .exe file. Download the free Stuffit Expander from www.allume.com. Drag and drop the .exe file onto the Expander. If it's a converted .zip file, the files will be extracted. If not, then it's a Windows program file.
