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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135078-how-do-i-open-exe-files/#findComment-957694 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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135078-how-do-i-open-exe-files/#findComment-957705 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.

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.

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 https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135078-how-do-i-open-exe-files/#findComment-959601 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 . . .
