   Double-click an EXE file to run it. EXE files are Windows executable files designed to run as programs. Double-clicking any EXE file will start it.

   • If the EXE file was downloaded from the internet, you’ll be asked to confirm that you want to run it. Be wary when running EXE files from unknown sources, as this is the easiest way to get infected with a virus. Never open an EXE file downloaded as an email attachment, even if you know the sender.
   • EXE files might not run properly if they were designed for an outdated version of Windows. You can try adjusting the compatibility settings by right-clicking on the file, selecting «Properties», and then clicking the Compatibility tab. You can set what version of Windows you want to run the EXE file as, but this is not guaranteed to solve the problem.

2.

   Open the Registry Editor if you can’t run EXE files. If you get error messages when you try to run an EXE file or nothing happens, there may be a problem with your Windows registry settings. Editing your registry may seem a little daunting, but it should only take a few minutes.^[1]
   

   • To open the Registry Editor, press the Windows key + R and type regedit.

   Understand the process. EXE files are not designed for OS X, so you’ll need to use special software to get them to run. You’ll be installing the open-source «wine» utility, which adds a Windows «wrapper» to the EXE file, giving it access to the essential Windows files that it needs to run. The wine utility does not work with every Windows EXE file, and some programs work better than others. You do not need a Windows disc to install wine.

2.

   Download and install Xcode from the Mac App Store. This is a free development tool that is required to compile software code. You won’t be using it directly, but the tools you’ll be installing to open EXE files rely on it.

   • Start Xcode after you finish downloading it, and click the «Xcode» menu. Select «Preferences» and then click the «Downloads» tab. Click the Install button next to «Command Line Tools».

3.

   Enter the command to agree to the Xcode license. This quick command will tell Xcode that you agree to the license agreement, allowing you to compile code. Close and reopen the Terminal window after running this command:

   Make sure you scan any EXE file for malware. EXEs can be dangerous, especially if you don’t know what they are or if it’s just a single file in EXE format. That’s why it’s important to have a good antivirus program that you can use to scan the file first before you run it.
