Run .exe's?

Can I run .exe files on my apple laptop? Thanks!

Buy a copy of Windows, then install it via Apple's own Boot Camp or via purchasing a copy of Parallels Desktop for Mac.

Report generation toolkit VI error when running EXE

A VI inside the Report Generation Toolkit (version 1.1.2), Excel Find Application Directory.vi, will not function correctly when running an EXE. The "Current VI's path" block will return the path of the currently running EXE rather than the path of the Excel Find Application Directory VI. (The same would be true for Word Find Application Directory.vi.)

Solved!

Have you had a look at this knowledgebase article? The error is caused due to the exclusion of any dynamic VI.

Getting Data From Running EXE

Hello,
First off, I am an amateur programmer. I have been programming for a few years now, but because I'm a meteorology major, and not a CSCI major, I haven't had too much time. Tying in the fields of meteorology and computer science, I have made a few programs about the weather.
There is a radar program, GRLevelX, which displays radar information, much like on television. With hi-tech abilities with it. One of the capabilities is placefiles, which can be added to the program. So what I am trying to do is make a placefile which shows an aerial map from Google Maps, which can be placed under the radar. When I get down to it, I have the code to grab the map and put it int he placefile format, however, the only thing I cant get is the coordinates of the visible window of the program.
Is there any way I can tap into a running EXE, get variables being used by that program, and have them returned to the Java file I have created so far? I have spoke wiht one other person about this and he said I would need to call Win32 API and get the window handler. Again, I'm very new to this, so that si kind of confusing. But I try to challenge myself with these programs, trying to learn the language a bit more. I have searched through many forums trying to look how to do this, and I can't seem to find anything. Any ideas? Thank you very much! I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Chris

Thanks for the quick replies. After some looking at the program and the first response, it looks like Java isn't the way to go. At least I have a good basis on how to do the main stuff, in java, just have to see if I can hand that off to someone familiar with the program to write in a different language. As for the second reply, I can see what you mean, not wanting to go into any secondary program. Especially if I don't know how its written and whatnot. There are a number of other placefiles, which do go into this program and grab data such as coordinates, and return their values. I will have to see what language they use (Visual Basic, i think?). Thanks again for the replies!

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.

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..

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.

Where to put files in using runtime.exec(run.exe)?

I try to use the following program in EJB to call my EXE program in the J2EE server:
runtime.exec("c:\\j2ee\\public\\exe\\run.exe temp.txt");
In the execution of mill_turn.exe, it will open several files for read and write.
So where to put the file temp.txt and other files the run.exe need to read?
Looks like the J2EE server can not find them?
Thanks!

I got it in Java SE1.4.
File dir=new File("c:\\j2ee\\public_html\\Mill_turn\\exe\\");
Process proc = rt.exec(cmd,null,dir);Use above codes, I really got the right output from my external program for the first time. But , after that, the output keeps same when I change the filename in the following code:
cmd="c:\\..\\run.exe temp.prt"
to
cmd="c:\\..\\run.exe Abc1.prt" , which must have different output.
The codes for calling external program are implemented in the SessionBean of J2EE.

Stopping a running exe

hi need help.
i have a vi with two button
1. button enable - run the exe automatically
2. button disable-stop/terminate the running exe
i can do the first button(run the exe) but i cant do the second button

i have a vi with two button <===== Is this the VI that is the executable?
1. button enable - run the exe automatically <===== Is the executable a LabView VI?
2. button disable-stop/terminate the running exe
i can do the first button(run the exe) but i cant do the second button <=== ????
I ask because the last sentence makes it sound as if you have a VI that has two button and it is not an executable. It calls an executable...
Is that so?
Before suggesting anything, I would need to know what type of executable we are talking about...
Can you provide more description?

How to close a running exe through java code

hai friends,

pls anyone help me

ksnagendran26 wrote:
how to exit the application which is running in quick launchWell my guess, since you are not providing specific information, is that java is in fact closing the application that it ran. What you are seeing is some other application that was spawned by whatever it is that you did. And java isn't going to close that because it doesn't even know it exists.
