Can I run a .exe file on a Mac?

I need to know know if it's possible to run a '.exe' file on an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X. There's a CD with an application I need to run. In the Finder it has the icon of the black computer screen with green letters and it's titled 'startCD.exe. It'll run on Windows but due to circumstances I need to run it on my computer. Any direction you can point me in will be greatly appreciated. Thank You!
MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)

"CrossOver Mac allows you to install many popular Windows applications and games on your Intel OS X Mac. CrossOver includes an easy to use, single click interface, which makes installing Windows software simple and fast. Once installed, your application integrates seamlessly in OS X. Just click and run your application directly from the OS X Finder. Clicking a Windows file or document — including email attachments — will launch the appropriate Windows program, allowing you to work on the files. Best of all, you do it all easily and affordably, without needing a Microsoft operating system license.
Adding new Windows software is easy. Just place your install CD in your Intel Mac, and CrossOver will recognize it and offer to begin the installation process. CrossOver then completes the installation and configures your application to run on your Mac. That's all there is to it."

    If it's the latter then you need to make the jar file including a manifest.
    The manifest can be just a txt file with its content to be something like this:
    Manifest-Version: 1.0
    Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.7.1
    Created-By: Somebody
    Main-Class: NameOfTheMainClass
    Class-Path:
    X-COMMENT: Main-Class will be added automatically by buildTo make the jar file including the manifest, use something like this in your command prompt (of course you must have compiled your java file(s) first):
    jar cfm test.jar MANIFEST.txt NameOfTheMainClass.classAfter that you'd be able to run your application just by double clicking it.
    If you're a NetBeans user, you can build your standalone application by right-clicking your project and then going to properties => run => and choosing a Main class. After that right click on that project and "Clean and Build", locate the jar file in the "dist" folder and double click it =]

  • What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac?

    What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac? I need to run some updates for my john deere gps and the downloads i get can only be run on windows.

    There are several options for running Windows software (*.exe files) on a Mac, depending what your program is, how often you use it, and your personal preferences.
    One way that does not require Windows is an open source effort called WINE.  Check out winehq.org.  You may find that that's all you need for your programs.  There is also a commercial effort that has grown from WINE, and you will find info about it on the site mentioned.  These DO NOT require that you have and install Windows.
    If you want to run sessions devoted only to Windows software, and want programs to run as fast as they do on a PC, the Apple's Bootcamp program is useful.  With it you dedicate a partition on your hard disk to windows, and on startup choose to either boot into OS X or Windows.  Each runs without any connection to the other.  This requires you have a copy of the Windows software as well as the applications you want to run. 
    If you want to be able to easily exchange data between your Windows and Mac programs, and skip back and forth between the two, there are several emulators available that run on Mac OS X and create a Windows environment where many Windows programs can operate along side Mac programs.  Parallels and VMwear are two comercial packages available for purchase and Virtual Box is an open source effort available for free.  Google will find all three for you.
    My only experience is with Virtual Box.  It is slow and a bit clunky, but it is free and meets my needs for the very few "just got to have" windows programs I sometimes use.
    Google is your friend on this and can provide a lot more, and better, information than I can.
    Best of luck,
    Ray

  • Can not open windows exe files.

    I have enrolled at uni by correspondence and can not open any forums that have being created by adobe captivate ( mostly exe files ) with my mac. I do not run any windows with my computer the lecturer has emailed me that previous students have open these files by running them on a mac with a windows emulator.
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi Kristen and welcome to Discussions,
    Mac OSX can not run .exe files, since these are meant to be run in Windows (originally MS-DOS, but that's another story )
    Apples BootCamp lets you run Windows on the 'Nativ' (real) hardware your Mac has, whereas any Virtualization app like Parallels, VMWare Fusion or VirtualBox runs Windows in a 'virtualized environment' (emulated) hardware.
    While these Virtualization apps are great for running the typical Office programs, they are not best suited for any programs, that need direct hardware access like games for example.
    Crossover Mac is an app which allows to run certain Windows programs without having to have/buy a Windows License/CD/DVD to install Windows.
    BootCamp: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/bootcamp.html
    VMWare Fusion: http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
    Parallels: http://www.parallels.com/en/desktop/
    VirtualBoX: http://www.virtualbox.org/
    Crossover Mac: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
    For starters I would try VirtualBox (since it is free) and a Windows license you might own and see how it works.
    Hope it helps

  • Can't open any *.exe files

    When I try to open .exe files I get an error message that says "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." I've gone to control panel > tools > folder options > file types and tried to set "exe" to "application," but that doesn't seem to work. Funny enough, I am able to open other types of programs like pictures, videos and PDF files, and if I open an html file directly I can open Firefox, but I can't open firefox.exe directly. I would like to run an antivirus or malware-check program but, of course, I can't open any .exe files.
    I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61.

    See if you are able to download DDS and save it to your desktop.
    Disable any script blocking protection
    Double click dds.scr to run the tool.
    When done, DDS.txt will open.
    Click Yes at the next prompt for Optional Scan.
    Save both reports to your desktop.
    Please note: You may have to disable any script protection running if the scan fails to run. After downloading the tool, disconnect from the internet and disable all antivirus protection. Run the scan, enable your A/V and reconnect to the internet. Some instructions for disabling AV are HERE.
    Please include the contents of the following logs by copying and pasting the text of each into your next reply:
    DDS.txt
    Attach.txt
    * NOTE: You may need to use another computer to download DDS to a CD or USB flash drive and transfer it to the Desktop of the computer with the problem.
    Based on what shows up in those logs I will post additional advice.

    Again i m writing my question

    Its software now hardware .... some times u need these things ...anyway do u ve solution for my questionSo what? By creating a native executable you are restricting the program to the OS for which that native executable was made, just like removing the engine from a car restricts driving to downhill only. So like the I said, the principle remains the same, "Why would you want to?"
    I am asking you, truthfully, why do you feel the need to negate the largest advantage of using Java by creating a native executable from it?
    What is your rationale?
    I can pretty much guarantee there is a much better way of achieving your wish without "removing the engine".

  • Run/Start .Exe file in ColdFusion

    Hi guys,
    am trying to open up a .exe file like notepad or whatever windows program with using <cfexecute> but seems it doesn't work at all. I'm able to write the command in cmd and run the exe file but when i put the command in cfexecute so i get nothing.
    here is the command i would like to run:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vc\vc.exe" -e "\Crystal\BF_Faktura_D.rpt"
    altso, run/start a simple .exe windows program. I think there is something about security access from CF server or something like that.
    ANY HELP?

    this is what i have in my .bat/.cmd file:
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Vc\vc.exe" -e "\Crystal\BF_Faktura_D.rpt"
    And i would like to remove that batch file totaly and run the command directly from CF to be able to make a HTML form and put some inputs through that form.
    here you can see what i really do in bat file:
    echo parameters:
    echo      fakturagruppe  : %1
    echo      fakturanr(fom) : %2
    echo      fakturanr(tom) : %3
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual CUT 11\Visual CUT.exe" -e "\BF_Faktura_D.rpt" "Parm1:%2>>>%3>>>3" "Parm2:false" "Parm3:%1" "Parm4:false"
    "Export_File:\\bf-visma02\vismadata\vbdoc\F0001\Fakturakopi\IC{BF_Faktura_S.InvoNo}.pdf" "Export_Format:Adobe Acrobat (pdf)"
    I would like to open Visual cut.exe through CF to be able to make thos parameters in an HTML form instead of inputs from .bat file as you see!

    Hello sir,
    we want to run the batch file using simple java application. i tried with some example, we run the exe files but not batch file.
    Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
    r.exec("D:\\jboss\\bin\\run.bat");
    My application is server will run when we run the java appliation.
    any suggestion? plz give me the solutions

    yes you can run html file
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is a built-in that is used in Forms to call URL from a Web Form. It works much like the similar way that a link on an HTML page works and it takes two arguments, one is URL and second one is TARGET, in your case use following.
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://channas.iil.informatics.lk:8890/forms/frmservlet?config=abc.html', '_blank');
    Hope this will work for you

  • How can i run a jar file?

    hi there

    Hi everyone.. i had a funny problem. Microsoft removed from registry and system the vm and i got the problem of java.dll and the registry problem when compiling.
    How did i resolve that?
    too easy:
    1. go to the registry and search the key "JavaSoft"
    2. add a Key with the name "Java Runtime Environment"
    3. select the new key and add a alfa-numeric Value with the name "CurrentVersion"
    4. set the value c:\jdk1.4 //the place of your jdk-version
    5. insert a new Key with the name "1.4"
    6. go to the new key and add an alfanumeric value with the name "JavaHome" and put the value c:\jdk1.4\jre\lib
    do this where you find the key Javasoft (in my registry was twice)
    i did it and got no problems

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