Can you open a .exe application on a mac?

Question

Because I have a mac I can't use .exe programs. Is there anyway to make it run?

Answer 1

Hi Hello Everyone,

An Executable file is for running on Windows. If you absolutely need to run it on your Mac you need to get a Windows emulation software. If you have a PowerPC Macintosh, you need to get Microsoft's Virtual PC for Mac:

If you have an Intel-based Macintosh, you need to download Boot Camp from the Apple web site and then install Microsoft Windows on your Mac.

Personally, I think that there's probably a great Macintosh program available that will do just as good a job as that Windows program that you've been looking at. Go to Version Tracker:

... or you could go to Mac Update:

... or you could go back to the Apple mother-ship:

Best of luck to you, Hello.
