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?

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.

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. happy.gif

Vmware Fusion, Parallels, Crossover Office, or Darwine. Take your pick. OSX Can't run Windows apps on its own.

You con use UnRarX to uncompress EXE files , like Gigabyte BIOS Update. I don`t know if it will work for applications.

You can also use a hex editor to open an exe file.

Do you think we can run .bat and .com under Leo ?

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
