How do I execute a .exe on a Mac

I converted from Windows last year and this is my first install of an exe file. When I double click it it just opens the text editor and does not install the exe file. It is a USB driver file to connect to my Garmin GPS watch.

As has already been stated Windows software in it's native state will not run on a Mac unless you are running Boot Camp, Fusion or Parallels.
Here is a link to all of Garmin's Mac software, they've done a nice job of porting most of their Windoze applications to OS X.

How can we execute an *.exe that is present on the client side from Server.

Hi
My application users would be having their own exe's installed on their machines. Using a wizard thay would be providing the path where the executable would reside on their machine and this information will be store in our data base. So how can we provide the user the capability of executing the exe from my application that is a server based.
Thank you in advance.

basically... drop the requirement as it is simply impossible. Whatever the executable is doing, perhaps you can mimic it in an applet, javafx, flash, silverlight, flex or whatever similar platform you want to use. Doing anything to or with that which resides on the client side is off limits to you and with very good reasons. Just think about the horrible things you could do to a computer if you had access to it through a simple webpage!

How Do I Execute An exe or an msi Install file From a Button in Flash Movie

Issue:
I have a flash movie that runs as a standalone player on a
Demo CD... I also have an install msi file(same as an exe) that
when the user is done viewing the flash movie they can click on a
menu button in the flash movie that executes the msi or exe located
on the root of the CD which starts the install process.
Question: What is the action script (FOR FLASH 8) that i
apply to the button that will initiate or call the MSI or exe
install file.
Anyhelp would be great... even a link to an example... or
anything... thanks
Thanks in advance...

fscommand("exec","myexe.exe");
Should run the program myexe.exe inside a directory called
fscommand
which must be a subdirectory of whereever your projector is
located.
In windows:I know you can run .bat files with fscommand. But
I'm not sure about msi files.
You can often get around the limitations by having a .bat
file that will a) show a cmd window briefly and b) do the thing
that you couldn't do from flash.
If running the msi doesn't work from flash directly you may
want to try using a bat file...
There's some information here.

How to open and play .exe file in Mac?

I am a new Mac user from of course Windows. I have a CD product catalogue which comes in a .exe format. There seemed no way that I can view the contents in Mac.
Does anyone have any solution for this?
Any help is most appreciate

As Thomas A Reed points out, an exe file is a windows application. I don't know why a product catalog would be in an exe file but I suppose it's possible. It seems more likely that the exe file is an application that either downloads the catalog or opens and displays a disk file containing the catalog; in the latter case you may already have the actual product catalog on your disk drive. Your might try using Spotlight to search for files with names containing key words related to your product catalog name. You also could use Spotlight to search file contents for key words you may recall from the catalog contents. Finally, is this possible: Use your old Windows PC or borrow one and run your "product catalog." While it is running, check for an option to export the information you need to a file in a format (say, text) that is readable on your Mac.

How to convert the javasource file(*.class) to execute file(*.exe)?

How to convert the javasource file(*.class) to execute file(*.exe)?
thank you!

Although i have seen a few programs (that are platform specific) that will embed a small jvm into an exe with your class file, it is generally excepted that you cannot create an executable file using java. The JAR executable file is probably the closest your going to get

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.

No, there is certainly no server side setting that will allow you to do this. Please refer to the following links for more information:

How to execute external exe in SSIS Package

Hi,
I wanted to know how to execute external exe from SSIS Package can any one explain me or provide me valuable links.
Regards ,
Ajay

There are few things you need to take care before executing exe from SSIS
1. The arguments etc expected by exe should be clearly defined inside execute process task
2. The Path where exe exists should be accessible to the account executing the package. SO you should grant account required permissions
3. If executing from a job make sure you either define a proxy account with required permissions and configure it to run the job or give service account all access required for executing exe

How to execute SAPgui.exe from java code

Hi All,
Can any one provide me the exe file name of SAP GUI related.
I need to call the SAP GUI related exe file from java.
i tried with a small java prog which executes the exe files.
it works fine with notepad.exe,javac.exe . But i am unable to execute the SAPgui.exe.
This is my java code
try{
     Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
//String str= "C:
WINNT
system32
notepad.exe";
//Process pp=rt.exec("C:
j2sdk1.4.2_08
bin
javac");
Process pp=rt.exec("C:
Program Files
SAP
FrontEnd
SAPgui
SAPgui.exe");
BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pp.getErrorStream()));
                     String line;
                     while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                         System.out.println(line);
          }catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println(e);
and may i pass any additional parameters inorder to invoke this exe.
Please share your ideas abt this problem.

hi Rajesh,
here my complete code:
          try{
               Runtime rt=Runtime.getRuntime();
//               String str= "C:\Programmi\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\saplogon.exe";
               String str= "C:\Programmi\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\Sapgui.exe 10.113.10.201 00";
               //               Process pp=rt.exec("C:\j2sdk1.4.2_08\bin\javac");
               Process pp=rt.exec(str);
               BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pp.getErrorStream()));
               String line;
               while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
               System.out.println(line);
               }catch(Exception e){
               System.out.println(e);
Please note that system number is only two digit and in your case is 00.
Another important think, i'm using the italian version of windows, so the program directory is c:\programmi, please change into c:\program files, or you can modify your code to be language indipendend using an system environment variable (if exist).
Hope this help

How can i execute vb scripts in java program

hi
how can i execute any batch files or any other exe files (vb scripts) from java programs

Hi,
You use Runtime.exec to execute commands / exe-files. See the documentation (and remember that it will only work on windows):

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 Forms can execute operating system files

How can we create a button which when pressed can execute an exe file from the operating system....
Please help me soon

That's very simple.
Check the host built-in.
You may have something like the following:
PROCEDURE run_rep (x_file in varchar2) IS
-- runs a report not using run_product
-- thus not opening reports background engine
cmdstr varchar2(200);
the_username varchar2(20);
the_password varchar2(20);
the_connect varchar2(20);
pl_id paramlist;
begin
the_username := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME);
the_password := Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD);
the_connect := Get_Application_Property(CONNECT_STRING);
cmdstr:='R30RUN32.EXE module='| |
replace(x_file, '.rep', '')| |'.rep userid='| |
the_username| |'/'| |the_password| |'@'| |the_connect| |' usesdi=yes';
host (cmdstr);
END;
This is something that really works.
In like manner you may run any OS command.
If you wish the command not to display anything on screen, just do:
host(cmdstr, no_screen);
RTM first.
Best of luck,
BD

How to package/inlcude C++ .exe and .dll files in a Java Web Start App?

Hello,
I have a Java Web Start application that runs fine if the application is only 1 .jar file.
But I have a need to also run C++ .exe and .dll file from my Java application.
I wonder if someone could please tell me how to package/include C++ .exe and
.dll files in my Java web start application?
Thank you and Best Regards,
Akino

You need to place the EXE and DLLs inside the jar.
Java cannot execute them from the jar. They have to be extracted (see Class.getResourceAsStream) from the jar and copyied into the target machine file system, perahps to the temp directory. Now you can execute them using Runtime.exec() or ProcessBuilder.start().
