tsidewalk Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 i have an exe file that i am having trouble opening and i was wondering if there is another program that i can try opening it with other than text edit on on lepord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shavex Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 what do you expect to get out of an exe? If you knew n e thing about programs you would understand that is the binary file, aka useless information can be found in there unless you infact know how to read binary and hex.

kazzi Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 There's the thing called VMWare Fusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paquito Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 There's the thing called VMWare Fusion. ... yes, but still you won't be able to run the EXE file unless you'd have Windows installed on VMWare Fusion. So there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrupted Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Vmware Fusion, Parallels, Crossover Office, or Darwine. Take your pick. OSX Can't run Windows apps on its own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ac3bcn Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You con use UnRarX to uncompress EXE files , like Gigabyte BIOS Update. I don`t know if it will work for applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hecker Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 You can also use a hex editor to open an exe file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmikase Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Do you think we can run .bat and .com under Leo ? (just kiding). Mac and Windows are two different worlds, and if you want to use your exe, just reboot the computer and choose your windows partition in the bootloader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicWTF Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 this thread made my day ^^ .exe won't run in OS X because OS X = UNIX and .exe = NT proprietary file extension UNIX != NT . . . OS X != WINDOWS . . . = THEREFOR != = inequality/does not equate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
