Opening exe file

How do I open an exe file on my mac? Do I have to download a Windows program? I need an easy way to do this......its not a big file like a game.

A .exe file is a windows executable file.
You need to open it within the windows operating system or its equivalent.

  • Opening exe files on a Mac (OS X mountain lion)

    Hello,
    I need to open exe files on my Macbook pro currently on the OS X Mountain Lion. I can't figure out how to open them, I know there are ways but I cant seem to find one that works. I would prefer one that is COMPLETELY free. Please respond ASAP!
    Thanks!

    Well, if is a not to complex application that doesn't need a lot of resources, you may be lucky and be able to create a Mac version by encapsulating it in WINE with WineBottler: http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/ 
    Beware, Mac & Windows savvyness required. Not Plug & Play. But it IS free....

  • Opening .exe files

    Sorry if this question has been asked before!
    I'm using a MacBook and I'm having trouble opening files that are in .exe format. I do have MacLinkPlus but this program doesn't seem to be able to convert the file. Is there another way that I can open .exe files?
    Thanks!
    Tam

    If there is a program you need to run and don't want to install a full Windows OS (via Parallels, Fusion or BootCamp) you may want to see if CrossOver Mac supports it.

    Try running it through WineSkin or CrossOver Mac, or installing Windows through VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, Boot Camp, or similar software.

    That's a question only the provider of the application can answer.
    You could also take a look into the system event log if there is an indication for the reason of the application failing to start properly. It is possible that certain services are required for the application, but they do not run on the machine.
    Another point is possibly missing rights. So you might want to test the application once with the option "Run as Admin" (right click menu item on the application shortcut or the exe itself).

  • How do I open .exe files on my mac?

    How do I open .exe files on my mac? I've downloaded a bunch of programs but they are all in .exe format. Do I need a program to extract these files?

    Ok thanks. So how do you install programs that you download from the internet? I've downloaded some programs and when I try to install them it doesn't work.
    First of all, you need to download things that are built to run on OS X - there is no way to install any Windows program in OS X.  You need windows to run Windows programs.
    Most downloadable programs for OS X will be distributed in a Disc Image file - *.dmg  You would double click one to open it.  Then, often it is as simple as drag the uncompressed folder to your Applications Folder.  Sometimes there may be an installer to run.  Once installed, you can eject the mounted dmg (drag it to the trash) and either keep is in case you ever need to reinstall, or delete it.

  • Opening .exe files/Converting video format

    Is there a way to open .exe files on my MacBookPro? (There is no virtually pc emulator for the MbookP, yet). Also, what I am trying to do is convert music video files that I downloaded to .mp4 file format so I can watch them on my iPod....Unfortunately I have no clue what I am doing, and I don't know of any freeware. If you know how to do this-Post!

    You can open .exe files on intel mac by booting into windows XP but that would involve using bootcamp
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/
    or virtualisation

    If music videos play in your browser you can capture them using snapzpro

  • Opening .exe files from captivate

    Hi there everyone - I'm new here, my name is Jane and my main
    interest is in captivate. I need some help. What I want to do is
    open .exe files using captivate. So I create a new button and
    choose as the action - open url or file. I find the file on my
    local system - a .chm file and in other situations it will be a
    .exe file made in multimedia builder and click ok.
    Having placed the .cp the swf and the .chm / .exe in the same
    file ( as in before, the path is correct ) what I get is the
    dialogue box to Save / cancel - What I want to see is, (on a
    windows computer ) the .chm file just open, or the .exe file just
    open. I need this for web and for cd/dvd -
    Someone PLEEEEAAASSSEE tell me it can be done somehow.
    ( if your suggestion is about - open a browser window -
    unfortunatly for my needs i just don't think I can do that )

    hi there retro - I have never used menu builder - its not
    part of what I need - so im not sure how to do what you are saying
    - also - my hope was that - I could add in a graphic / button on
    any slide i like and through that button launch the .exe file - do
    you think this is possible - if not - am i right in thinking - the
    only place where the user can download the file is before they
    start watching, at the menu stage? I guess that is ok for the CD
    production - although not really what I wanted, and as for the web
    - I could do it in dreamweaver I wounld not use captivate.
    Could you tell me quickly how I should do what you are
    suggesting - ill give it a try and see if its an acceptable work
    around.
    I suppose im asking to much if i were to say, what i really
    really want is - for the app to symataniouly open - e.g. the use
    clicks on a pdf / .exe / .chm and the app opens along with the file
    .

  • Opening exe files on mac

    I have downloaded .exe files, but do not know which application to open the file with.
    Any assistance would be most appreciated.
    Saima

    Hi Saima. Just as Lyssa mentioned, files with an .exe extension are applications that can only be opened on Windows based computers. If you can let us know what kind of applications you downloaded, we could maybe point you in the direction of similar Mac compatible programs.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers!

  • How to open  .exe file located in server system by the client system

    hi,
    i am using tomcat 5.0 as server and jsp as front end.
    I placed some of the software in the server system.I want to open the exe of those software from the client system when the user clicks the button.
    I am able to open them in the server system itself but if i try to open it from other system(client system using ip address of server system), the exe file gets opened and displayed in the server system only but not in the client system.
    any idea???
    Please help.
    Thanks & Regards,
