What is a EXE file (a file with file extension EXE)?
Windows executable files contain the .exe file extension. The .exe extension is also very common with other executable files types such as files associated with the DOS, OpenVMS, Microsoft Windows and Symbian operating systems.
Windows files with the .exe extension run when they are double-clicked, such as SETUP.EXE and INSTALL.EXE. The launching of the EXE file commonly starts the installation of an associated application on the user's computer.
Technically, EXE files are reserved for Windows-operated computers and are not meant to be run on a Mac operating system. In some instances, however, a Windows emulator will allow a user to open a EXE file on a Mac computer.
