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.

My comment is Valid... " .exe files will not run natively on Mac OS X..."
I am sorry. I had the false impression that it was commonly known that .exe files did not run on Mac OSX natively and failed to see any constructive critique you were bringing. Maybe I am wrong. Again deepest apologies.
Unfortunately... these days... not every one is aware of this .exe fact..
Apology accepted.. and Thank You..

How to run two files with same url- urgent

hi,
i created two servlet page and both are working very fine.but at same time i only able to run one file with same url. Is possible to run two or more file at same time with same url name..
if you r not understanding what i want to ask then, i have two file names under helloWeb directory
1) helloWorld.java(servletname s1, url /man)
2) helloWeb.java (servletname s2,url /man)
to run - http://localhost:7001/helloWeb/man - it runs very first file which is added to deployment module.
so i want to know how i can run both file with same url, for this what i have to pass on my address bar.
plz help me i m wating
<b></b>

Hi,
We can give same url mapping to both Servlets but we can access the servlet which is entered first in web.xml because whenever we send a request to the webserver then webserver look at the elements in web.xml file one by one.
When it finds the corresponding url mapping then immediately sends the response to the client.The same url mapping for the next element will be ignored.
I think there is no possibility to access both servlets with same url.

How to open .exe files with Ibook G4 ??

Hello, I have an ibook G4 since 2004 that I used only for photos & Music. Now I need to use it for work and cannot install anything since it refuses to run .exe files.
Did someone had same issue ? How did you solve it ?? The fact is I'm trying to install adsl connection so cannot download anything before I've managed to run this file ;
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi again,
Isn't there a set-up wizard within the web interface? I'm not familiar with the Speedtouch 585 but you should connect to it with an ethernet cable and connect the 585 to your phone/cable socket. In your browser address bar put: 192.168.1.254 and hit the 'Enter' key. This will get you to the web interface of the router. Using the manual that came with the router navigate to the relevant pages and enter the settings that were provided by your ISP. Save the settings. The router may or may not restart but should connect if you have entered the settings correctly.
Once it is set up and connected and if your iBook has an Airport card you will be able to connect wirelessly with this router.
Good luck,
Adrian

How to run .exe files on macbook pro

Just bought my first macbook pro the other day. I absolutely love it. Much better than the windows boxes. I wanted to run some '.exe' files on my new laptop but was not successful finding anything on the market to use without purchasing a full OS version of Windows. Is there any software out there that I can use to run '.exe' files without purchasing a full Windows OS to do so. I know about parallels for MAC but that seems to require purchasing Windows OS? Any help is greatly appreciately.
Here are the specs on my Macbook Pro.
2.2GHz quad core i7
4GB RAM
500GB HDD

Some Windows software -- not all, by a long shot -- will run on a Mac without installing Windows, with the aid of the CrossOver Mac emulator:
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
Games generally won't. For those, you need Windows installed through Boot Camp so you can run Windows natively.

To add to all these valuable questions, what executable are

How to run JavaFX Jar with JRE 7 on MAC OS Lion 10.7.5 ?

I had java 1.6 installed on my MAC OSX Lion 10.7.5. When I am trying to run that JavaFX application jar
java -jar application.jar

It installed jre-7u10-macosx-x64.dmg but java -version is always point to 1.6.
Then I searched for Java Preferences to point the current JRE 1.7 but I could find Java Preferences at Applications -> Utilities -> Java -> Java Preferences.
I found an Java Icon on System Preference. When I am trying to open that widow it's showing me error -- the java control panel opens in a separate window and nothing happens when we click on Re-open the Java Control Panel.

To find a copy of LP7 you would need to look for a copy on eBay.. However, the protection method used with LP7 no longer functions so you cannot register it and therefore you cannot use it. unless you have already registered LP7 yourself in the past using the security key dongle provided
Any version of LP7 from a torrent would be an illegal (and most likely non working) version due to the protection that was used at that time... and so posting about it here, was not be wise.
So.. thats why my previous answer was so brief... Simply put, you cannot use LP7 unless you already have a validated and registered security dongle... even if you found a copy of LP7 somewhere
The only practical solution is to find some kind soul who already has a working version of LP7 installed, that you can send the projects to... for them to do the conversion for you.
I would, but I no longer have LP7 installed here on any of my testbed Macs...

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.

How to run .exe file by labview?

Dear All,
I want to use Labview to run a .exe file, but I don't know how to do? who can tell you? Thanks!
Best regards,
Jimmy

Try the attached VI (LV v7.1.1). It uses the System Exec function:
(from the LV Help file):
"System Exec
Executes a system command. UNIX You can use wildcards, pipes, and shell meta-characters. Mac OS To use this VI on Mac OS, you must have the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop installed. Refer to the Apple Developer Connection Web site for information about downloading the MPW.
To launch an executable with options using the syntax filename.exe -option1 -option2, create a filename.bat file that calls the executable with the options syntax and use this VI to call the filename.bat file. "

How to run exe file using oracles procedure (ASAP) ?

i am finding difficulties in running an exe file using an oracle procedure.I need this for a pure .NET application

I want the solution for both,An Oracle stored procedure cannot generally run an executable on the client machine. Stored procedures run on the server and have no access to your client machine. You could potentially do something convoluted like run a web server on the client with an ASP page that called the executable and have the stored procedure make a UTL_HTTP call to the ASP page, but that's generally not an option.
If the executable is on the server and it's only available as an executable, you could write a Java stored procedure that called out to the command line and invoked the executable (assuming the operating system user running the Oracle database has permission to do so). If the Oracle database is on Windows and you've got 10.2, you may also be able to write a .Net stored procedure that would do the same sort of thing.
If you can expose the functionality as a DLL, a more elegant solution would be to use an external procedure.

How to run jar files with arguments?

Hi everybody,
Is it possible to run a jar file with arguments passed to its MAIN class?
If yes can you help me on how to do it?
Thanx

I am in complete agreement with FahleE. I'll refine it a bit.
On my machine (running RedHatLinux8.0) you can run the demos like this.
1. open a console window
2. go to the directory where the demo you wish to run, say, demo.jar, is located
for instance for the SwingSet2-demo
cd /usr/lib/java/demo/jfc/SwingSet2
3. run the jar file
java -jar demo.jar
In order to run it windows style, ie, launching by double clicking, save these lines in a file called
LaunchJar.sh
cd /usr/lib/java/demo/jfc/SwingSet2
java -jar demo.jar
where demo.jar is the jar file you want to run.
Right click on the LaunchJar.sh and go to the 'Properties' tab. Check the 'Execute' permissions for Owner/groups/others. You can also do the same thing by chmod command.
Now double-click on the LaunchJar.sh file: your application should be launched.
Palash.
Please Note: It is important to set the path variable to your JAVA_HOME directory....
Otherwise, instead of
java -jar demo.jar, you will need to use the full path to your JAVA_HOME/bin directory like:
JAVA_HOME/bin /java -jar demo.jar.
Where JAVA_HOME is the directory where you have installed java. Typically it is usr/java or usr/local/java
