Can exe. files be uploaded to play on a website

Hi, I am trying to get an exe. file of a slideshow to play on
my website. I cannot see it on my site and I get an icon asking for
a plugin, but I am not sure where I get plugins from. I clicked the
icon, but it did not help me. I am wondering if perhaps it is not
possible to play exe. files on a website.
Does anyone have a clue about this.
Thanking you all.

files on a website.
Think about it.
We already have enough security problems with JavaScripts,
even though
they usually run in a browser sandbox! Imagine what could
happen with a
downloaded .exe file with full system access on a typical
I-am-the-
administrator-user-even-though-I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing-box.
OK, maybe we wouldn't have any security problems anymore
then, because
the whole Internet would have been shut down and all
connected Windows
machines been killed. What a peaceful world this could be ...
Another thing: .exe files are DOS/Windows specific. What
should users of
other platforms do with it? The Web doesn't care about the
used OS.
So in short: Use Web technologies to make your slideshow
suitable for
the Web and forget the .exe file.

    Unless you have CrossOver Mac installed or it is a self-expanding zip file, you need Windows to open exe files.

  • Can EXE files be used on the MAc?

    I'm not sure if this is in the correct category, but I am trying to download a program (Rhapsody) that I used on the PC. Whenever I click to download it (there are no OS options but it system requirements it says Mac OS 10.4 or higher) it automatically goes into my downloads as an .exe file. I was under the impression that .exe files are for Windows and not the Mac.
    If I did try to open a Windows file, would it crash the Mac?
    Also, someone recently told me that an intel mac is not a real mac and intel is made by Microsoft... I have never heard of this. He said that intel macs don't work the same as "real macs" and I could have problems because it's intel. Is that correct? Is my Mac Mini version 10.5.8 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo a Mac 10.5 or a Mac intel, I am confused about this.
    Thank you!

    .EXE files will work with Intel Macs running virtualization. Boot Camp is prebundled with Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6, allowing you to boot into Windows, if you have a copy of Windows to install on your Mac that is compatible with that version of Boot Camp. Additional virtualization titles are below*:

    That said, your statement here is a bit of a oxymoron:
    Whenever I click to download it (there are no OS options but it system requirements it says Mac OS 10.4 or higher) it automatically goes into my downloads as an .exe file.
    The place giving you that download has either mislabeled the download, or is missing the download. At minimum, it should have bundled a .dmg, .gz, .sit, or .hqx document to run on 10.4. Virtualization under 10.4 is available, but it is not going to run as Boot Camp, because 10.5 is where Boot Camp is prebundled. You'd have to use Parallels, Virtualbox, or VMWare to install the .exe under 10.4 on an Intel Mac. Since you have 10.5.8, you already have Boot Camp capaibility. One problem people might run into with Intel Macs, is older PowerPC applications that access PowerPC only drivers or plugins, or need Mac OS 9. Ask the place that makes the software, if it relies on such things. If it does, inform them that they are woefully out of date, as Macs started coming with Intel chips January 2006. Find an alternative software title in that event.

  • Upload a .exe file to dreamweaver

    Hello all,
    How can i upload a .exe file onto dreamweaver or change it to
    a .swf file
    help greatly appreciated
    thanks

    There is NO relationship between an EXE file (which is a
    machine executable
    file), and a SWF file (which is a streaming vector graphic
    file).
    You are trying to convert apples to oranges. Perhaps the exe
    file is a
    self-extracting zip archive of the swf file?

  • Here's a fix for uploaded files that won't play.

    Is this you?  You've found a lot of files were uploaded, instead of matched.  Some of those files might even be on albums where other tracks matched. Sure you want them ALL to match, but meantime, it would be nice if uploaded files would actually play!  Sure, you can see their names, track durations, etc. but if you try to play them directly, nothing happens and if you try to play an album through, when it gets to an uploaded track, it stalls or skips past it.  You've checked the file type and it's an AAC so you figure it can't be a file encoding incompatibility problem and besides, whatever the file type, Apple is red-flagging anything incompatible, tells you it's ineligible, right?
    Guess Again - not all AAC files are produced with the same encoder and some of them, while they'll get past Apple's eligibile/ineligible screening process, probably shouldn't.
    I routinely record vinyl using Audacity and at various times I've used different encoders (not that I knew it until now).  As a result of checking which uploaded files play and which do not, I'm pretty confident of the following. While some AAC files created outside of iTunes might work, those encoded using Lavf52.36.0 will not.  Neither will files encoded using Lavf52.64.2.  There may be others.
    So what's the fix?  The same one recommended for getting files flagged by Apple as ineligible to pass muster.  You need to make an AAC copy in iTunes and swap that for the uploaded files that won't play.
    Here are the steps I use to get it done. You may be able to streamline the process though.
    (1) Turn off wi-fi to prevent iTunes Match from attempting to match any new files until you're good and ready.  If you don't to this, you may end up with files you've just created being flagged as duplicates.
    (2) Select all files in an album that has some bad uploaded files. Select Advanced > Create AAC Version.  (NOTE: I don't bother trying to separate uploaded from matched, just too much hassle.)
    (3) Select one of the files, so you can File > Reveal In Finder. Generally this will get you to the album folder that includes both sets of tracks.  The ones you just created will have a "1" in the file name.
    (4) Create a folder on the desktop and move all the newly created files to it.  Delete the "1" from the file names.  Name the folder based on album title.
    (5) In iTunes, delete the listings for the newly created files.
    (6) Turn on wi-fi and wait for iCloud to reconnect.  Watch the cloud icon - it'll tell you.
    (7) Delete the album from iTunes (You're now getting rid of the copy that was originally uploaded, so be sure you've really got the new AAC files handy to replace them with).  Note you will see an option to delete from iCloud too.  Check it.  You want these files GONE!
    (8) Select Store > Update iTunes Match. If you do a search for the album from an iCloud enabled iOS device (I use Apple TV) after the update is completed, you shouldn't be able to find the album.
    (9) Select File > Add To Library and go get the folder of tunes you created.
    (10) Run Update iTunes Match again.
    (11) Watch the iTunes progress bar. Once the matching process has checked to see if you've added anything to your library, you'll see fresh copies of your songs uploading.
    (12) As another means of confirmation, once several of the songs have uploaded, do an iOS device search for the album. You should  be able to get the album to appear before the upload is complete. You may have to back out of the search and back in to get it to work, but chances are when you first see the album, the song titles will all be grayed out.  Once the update is complete, give it a minute and everything should become available to you.
    (13) Pick a track that wouldn't play before and watch to see if the timer starts to move, followed by music! It is now time to do a little happy dance.
    I know this is a far cry from figuring out what it takes to get songs that should match to actually do so, but that's a whole different ball of wax.

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

  • I have logitech webcam exe files that I want to play on mac 10.8.2  Are there conversions to accomplish this?

    I have old logitech webcam exe files that I want to play on Mac 10.8.2. How do I make conversions to accomplish this.

    My son suggested a fix that worked for me.  I was trying to convert some videos taken 10 years ago using a Logitech Quickcam.  The videos were saved as video email player which made them exe files.  The fix is to use a screen capture program (we used Bandicam) to capture the video while playing the video file.  Had to save them as WMV files which I then converted to M4V files to play on my MAC.  I could size the capture window which made it a perfect fit to the video.  It turned out great as I now can play those videos in Windows Media Player, and Quick Time.  I am no longer in danger of loosing precious family videos.  Thank you for all your help.

    I need help! I am in hurry.

    Hi,
    Sorry for my delay.
    Based on your description, I’m a little confused with your issue. Would you please let me know more details
    of this issue? Thanks for your understanding.
    Would you please let me know OS edition information of this problematic server? Did you logon the server via
    an administrator account? Meanwhile, would you please let me know the complete error message when access Device Manager, MMC or other .exe files?
    For CMD, please open Task Manager, click File and select
    Run new task. Then type CMD and select Create this task with administrative privileges option in
    Create new task wizard. Will you still encounter issue?
    By the way, I type above links which you provided in IE. However, I can only find
    Page Not Found error. You can upload screenshots to
    OneDrive and then post link here. (Please hide all protected or private information)
    If any update, please feel free to let me know.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you make an exe file for a slide show using PS Elements?

    Although I use ProShow Gold for slide shows, I need information on other programs that can provide an option for an exe format. I am not too technical so I can't tell from my Elements and couldn't find anything here. I will be running a competition in which exe files are needed so they can be played on any computer. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

    I hope your competition goes well. I suggest though that you thoroughly scan each submitted file for virus and malware on an isolated machine first. While not suggesting your competitors would deliberately infect their entry but if their own machines were unknowingly infected by (say) a trojan that could potentially infect the executables they create for your competition.
    If it was me I'd request files in a standard format (e.g. WMV) that is readable by just about any media playing software such as Windows Media Player.

  • How can I convert .swf  file to exe file?

    thanks

    Hi
    Thank for your choise.
    If showing only white screen, please download the lastest version, v2.03.
    http://www.bullrushsoft.com/download.html
    This problem occurs in Win7 sp1, especially IE has been upgraded to v10.
    Our SWF to EXE Converter must need the FlashPlayer plugin for IE, it 's not a atandalone program.
    So it only 880KB.
    Our online converter is the adobe flash player exe, it can be embed the swf  into, and standalone, so its size > 4MB.
    More details, please visit http://www.bullrushsoft.com/online.html

    There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

  • Can not see cFP-2220 after creating an exe file

    I am using a cFP-2220 with LabView 2011. I can see the cFP-2220 with Max, the program I created runs in my PC but the data from the cFP-2220 it is slow to up date.
    I access the cFP-2220 thru the network terminal and a net card in my PC.
    I have created an EXE file to run in the PC for that test stand as a stand along program. The program runs but it does not see the cFP-2220 or any of the data been collected. The test stand PC does have MAX install. When I run MAX in the stand PC it sees the cFP-2220 and can read the data from the modules the PC is wire to the cFP-2220 thru a net card.

    Sorry for the delay to respond... I do have installed the minimun files that are available  Field Piont 6.0.10 and LabView RT 11 is part of them.
    I also using share variables. The program VI runs fine in my PC but when I create the exe file and deploy on the test stand it asks fot the location of the FPLV,dll and the NI_TGT.dll and it can not read or write to any of the DAQmx vi's.
    I accidently remove one my FP-SG-140 from the list of inputs, I did put it back but I damage how the share variables weere working I am getting and error -1950679023 and it does not see any of my inputs.
    I have another question how do I down load the variables to the cFP-2220 that is another erros that shows up when I installed other files into the cFP.

  • Cannot delete exe files - The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer

    We have received 3 new computers with Windows 8.1. All of us 3 have the same problem: we cannot delete exe files with message "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Windows Explorer"
    For example, I download skypeinstall.exe on desktop, install the program correctly and then try to delete the file: file is in use by Windows Explorer, cannot be delete.
    We reboot computer, we are able to delete the file. But, if I restore the file from the recycle bin on the desktop, I cannot delete it again until I reboot the PC. I used ProcessExplorer to see what is locking it and I can see 5 instances of explorer.exe
    locking the file.
    I can always reproduce the same way:
    1-Reboot
    2-Delete exe file
    3-Restore file
    4-Delete stop working and 5 explorer.exe handle are locking it.
    I have tried the following so far after reading multiple threads:
    - De-activating Windows Search service
    - Activating User Experience service
    - Deleting from command prompt (no success)
    - In folder options: inactivate display icon on thumbnail and activate always display icons, never thumbnail
    - Changing folder view (contents, detail, small icons...)
    - Using Lock Hunter - not working until reboot
    None of these worked.
    We all have Windows 8.1 with Crucial SSD drive, could the problem be linked with the SSD drive incompatibility?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Please try to make a clean boot for your system, then check if this problem resolved.
