Problem running .exe files

I cannot run .exe files on Windows 10. A pop-up window shows a message that the .exe file I am trying to run is missing. What can I do to solve this problem ?

Keep in mind that the Win 10 build "refresh" operations are clearing parts of the registry back to default values, so some things you've installed might end up uninstalled or only half installed after an upgrade to a new TP build.
What EXACTLY is going wrong? In other words, exactly what are you trying to do, and what is the exact content of the message(s) you're seeing.
Details matter.

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 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:

Games generally won't. For those, you need Windows installed through Boot Camp so you can run Windows natively.

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..

Running exe file

Hello,
Is there any way that i can run exe file from wd application ?
I will appreciate any answer or hint.
thanks in advance,
Ofer.

Hi Ofer ,
i think , u have to manually run the application in the client side after downloading from the server itself..
u have to kept it in server , and allow the client application to download it to client side and then execute..
otherwise , u have to programaically do these steps ,, copying the exe from server to a tem location in client and execute this in client side...
we can access files which are residing in server in one mor way .. thats with WebDav ... u have to set up this in the Enterprise portal if u have ..
if u have a IIS server in the same server machine or another machine , u can put these there and using WebDav u can access...
refer this for setting webdav in Windows..

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.

To add to all these valuable questions, what executable are
you trying
to run, what kind of parameters does it need? It can be a bit
tricky to
pass complex parameters through the <cfexecute ...>
tag.

What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac?

What is the best way to run .exe files on my mac? I need to run some updates for my john deere gps and the downloads i get can only be run on windows.

There are several options for running Windows software (*.exe files) on a Mac, depending what your program is, how often you use it, and your personal preferences.
One way that does not require Windows is an open source effort called WINE. Check out winehq.org. You may find that that's all you need for your programs. There is also a commercial effort that has grown from WINE, and you will find info about it on the site mentioned. These DO NOT require that you have and install Windows.
If you want to run sessions devoted only to Windows software, and want programs to run as fast as they do on a PC, the Apple's Bootcamp program is useful. With it you dedicate a partition on your hard disk to windows, and on startup choose to either boot into OS X or Windows. Each runs without any connection to the other. This requires you have a copy of the Windows software as well as the applications you want to run.
If you want to be able to easily exchange data between your Windows and Mac programs, and skip back and forth between the two, there are several emulators available that run on Mac OS X and create a Windows environment where many Windows programs can operate along side Mac programs. Parallels and VMwear are two comercial packages available for purchase and Virtual Box is an open source effort available for free. Google will find all three for you.
My only experience is with Virtual Box. It is slow and a bit clunky, but it is free and meets my needs for the very few "just got to have" windows programs I sometimes use.
Google is your friend on this and can provide a lot more, and better, information than I can.
Best of luck,
Ray

Running .exe files

Hello again everyone,
I have a .exe file and when I click on it a dialog box comes up asking me to choose an application that will run it.
Which application is it looking for? Or what application will make it run?

Mac's don't run .exe files. That's a windows pc file. If you have downloaded this, then you need to find the Mac version.

Problem in Running EXE file from Java

Hello Friends,
I am calling an EXE program from my JSP page using Runtime.exec() method. The exe file simply reads a file and writes the content into another file (like copying a file). Now if I am providing fully qualified path to both source and destination files, then it runs absolutely fine. However, if i don't mention file path (only fine name is there), it creates output file in System32 folder and the resultant file doesn't contain any data.
I am providing the source for the EXE file.
==============
Source 1 (with fully qualified path name)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void write_temp_file1(char *);
void main()
char * myTempPath=NULL;
myTempPath=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
strcpy(myTempPath,"D:\\temp\\tempFile.txt");
write_temp_file1(myTempPath);
myTempPath=NULL;
void write_temp_file1(char * fileName)
// first read the file and write another file with same content
char * line1=NULL;
char * line2=NULL;
char * line3=NULL;
line1=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line2=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line3=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
ifstream inf;
inf.open(fileName,ios::nocreate);
inf>>line1;
inf>>line2;
inf>>line3;
inf.close();
ofstream outf;
strcat(fileName, "1");
outf.open(fileName);
outf<<line1<<endl;
outf<<line2<<endl;
outf<<line3<<endl;
outf.close ();
================================
Scenario 2 (with file name only)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void write_temp_file1(char *);
void main()
char * myTempPath=NULL;
myTempPath=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
strcpy(myTempPath,"my_temp_from_exe.txt");
write_temp_file1(myTempPath);
myTempPath=NULL;
void write_temp_file1(char * fileName)
// first read the file and write another file with same content
char * line1=NULL;
char * line2=NULL;
char * line3=NULL;
line1=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line2=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line3=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
ifstream inf;
inf.open(fileName,ios::nocreate);
inf>>line1;
inf>>line2;
inf>>line3;
inf.close();
ofstream outf;
strcat(fileName, "1");
outf.open(fileName);
outf<<line1<<endl;
outf<<line2<<endl;
outf<<line3<<endl;
outf.close ();
==========================
Can anyone figure out what could be the problem ? I think there is a problem with Library Path or sort of something like that.
Please help me.

providing source code for the EXE program doesn't tell your problem.
You have to be more specific. What is your problem?

Problem With EXE File In WAR

          Hi,
          I have a web application packaged as a war file which contains a EXE file. I also
          have several JSP pages within the same WAR that point to the EXE file. When using
          basic authentication, there is no problem. The client can click on the link and
          gets prompted to save the EXE file.
          The problem happens when I use form-based login. When the user gets prompted to
          save the EXE file, the '.exe' extension is lost, and the file is therefore saved
          without the .exe extension.
          Does anyone know what's going on, nad how I can correct this?
          Thanks very much.
          Dan


This application is purely doing analysis of data taken by a different system. The data is input to this code by using dialog to identify the path to a stored data file and then this code does some pulse analysis. But there is no GPIB, serial port or anything (?) that I know of hardware wise is involved. Nor do I think there is any NI-VISA involvement.
The numeric value is a time (in seconds) between two events in the data file. The value should be close to 12.5 usec or 12.5E-6 as read out by the numeric indicator. On all the machines where this code works ok, that is what you get but on this one laptop we consistently get 0.00E+0. If it wasn't for the E+0 telling me that at least this indicator is reading in scientific notation, then I
would think somehow this indicator just had the wrong format or precision but since the E+0 is there, it seems to say that zero is being fed into this point in the code.. ??
Also, I had the owner of the laptop tell me how many folders he found in his C:\Program Files\National Instruments. His answer was three, Data Socket, Measurement Studio and Shared. And inside Shared he has at least the 6.1 Run Time Engine as he would have to have to run these executables. But he DID NOT have NI-VISA. Does anyone think it would need to be there??
Also, we tried the .ini file approach that was suggested in another post but that didn't help... Any thoughts?? thanks... paris1
