What you've been told is roughly right, except that, even if you had the source code, it would not necessarily be possible to compile it under Mac OS X.
There is, however, a rare special case. That is when the .exe application is actually a self-expanding Zip archive; ie, a compressed archive to which the code necessary to expand it has been added. The code itself would not run under Mac OS X, of course, but you could extract the content of the archive by using an application such as Zipeg, or after changing the filename extension to .zip.

I am a PC user - bought my 1st Mac today. Was trying to download a VLC player for my movies but i can't open files when i download them. I tried downloading winc=ace - but it came in an exe file as well and it just opens as a word file of computer language. I tried loking on the net - not much help - something about mounting a file - but there is no file mounter. Please help getting very frustrated. I guess i know how people who have never used a computer before feel like....
Thanks for your helpYou need MacUnace from the Winace site
VLC for MAc is here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html -
Is it possible to install .exe files on my MAC? There are a couple of programs that are designed for Windows (Why, I shall never know) that I very much need to run but cannot find Mac versions of. Is there some software I can get that will allow me to run these programs?
I've had luck on occasion with decompressing and then using .exe files using Stuffit Expander.
That's only because it was a .zip file converted to a self extracting archive. An .exe file is normally a program in Windows. -

Unable to install Netgear XE102 on my iMac. Checked Netgear website and could not find a setup.exe file for Mac.
That means either no software needs to be installed on a Mac or the product is incompatible with Macs. Contact NetGear tech support for help.

You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal? -

How to install .exe files on pawerbook g4?ty
how to install .exe files on pawerbook g4?ty
dot e x e files are PC executables. They will not work on a PowerBook unless you have an appropriate Windows PC emulator, such as Virtual PC on the machine, which BTW runs very slowly on my TiBook so I don't use it very often. (Actually, I haven't used it for anything that actually worked in several years.)

how can i open/install .exe files? i' am having trouble installing this CD for school
Run Windows or find a Mac version of the software or buy a Windows computer.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive. -

A .exe file is a Windows executable. OS X does not run Windows programs. If you need to use .exe files then you will need to install Windows on your Mac:

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.. -

Does "aerender.exe" file get affected if there's an update from CC?
Hello,
Does "aerender.exe" file get affected if there's an update from CC?
What if a workstation installed the update from CC and the After Effects render farm doesn't update from CC, will it still render the comps? The render farm is a 3rd party software that uses the "aerender.exe" from After Effects.If you update one it would be a good idea to update all. Most of the time updates are bug fixes or other improvements. Usually a bug will show up on rendering so it makes the most sense to update your render machines rather than just your production machine.
