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.

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!
-Dabooss891Well, 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.... -
Mac opening exe. files with Captivate 5
I am a Mac user and need to open exe. files from my lecturer. I have got Captivate 5 and have updated it with the patch BUT nothing I seem to do enables me to open the files. Can anyone please help?
Hello,
MAC will not open .exe files as .app is the extension for MAC Executable files, or if you want to install an application on MAC, you can use .dmg format

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

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

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