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.

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 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.

Hi,
Welcome to the Discussions.
You need a PC emulator like Virtual PC (Microsoft) and a copy of windows.

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.

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.

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.

Run Windows or find a Mac version of the software or buy a Windows computer.

How to open a .MAT file in LABVIEW

Hey everyone,
I currently have a .MAT image file which I would like to open in LABVIEW to apply some image filters. However, I am unsure as to how to open the .MAT file in LABVIEW. Ideally I would like to be able to open the .MAT file without using matlab, and it seems the only way to accomplish this task is through the mathscript node. I have attached an example of the image im trying to open, as well as the LABVIEW program which I would like to use on the image. Thanks for the feedback! =]

Hi Boiler,
1) Do you have a choice in the format you export your data from MATLAB?
"ASCII Format
Complete the following steps if you want to import or export data between LabVIEW and the MATLAB® environment, the process is straightforward as long as you are using ASCII format.
From the MATLAB® environment to LabVIEW
To save a vector or a matrix Xin ASCII format with tab delimiter, enter the following in the command window or m-script file in the MATLAB® environment:
>>SAVE filename X -ascii -double -tabs
This creates a file whose name is filename, and it contains the data X in ASCII format with a tab delimiter.
Import the file into LabVIEW using the Read From Spreadsheet File VI located on the Programming»File I/O palette.
2) Have you tried using the mathscript node? Did you get any errors?
"Binary Format
Complete the following steps if you want to import or export data between LabVIEW and MATLAB®.
From the MATLAB® environment to LabVIEW
To read a .mat file in LabVIEW would require a VI to parse the file. This may be easier if each variable is saved to a separate file.
" -- this was done here, no ideas if it still works,
I want to read a Matlab MAT file into labview
Hope this helps, James

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.
