The EXE format is used in Windows operating systems to run executable program files. Each utility launched on the system has this extension. If the program does not start, this indicates errors in the operation of the application.
Instructions
Step 1
To run the EXE file in Windows, just double-click on the file and wait while the system processes the necessary data and starts the program. You can also run the desired utility with administrator rights, if the application requires it. To do this, right-click on the executable file and select the "Run as administrator" item in the context menu that appears.
Step 2
If you are using Windows 7 or 8 to run applications built to run on Windows XP, you will need to make some adjustments. Right-click on the executable file and select the "Properties" menu. In the list of possible operations that appears, go to the "Compatibility" tab.
Step 3
In the "Compatibility Mode" section, check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode". In the drop-down list, select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" or an earlier version of the operating system if the program was released earlier. Then click "OK" and try to launch the application again.
Step 4
If various error messages appear when starting EXE, it is likely that the program is not working due to problems in its installation and the lack of necessary data for correct operation. To run the utility, try reinstalling it using the program installer again.
Step 5
To run an executable file on Linux operating systems, you can use various emulators, including Wine. This emulation utility allows you to run most EXE files using its own interface. Install Wine from your application manager. After that, to run the required utility in EXE format, you need to double-click the left mouse button on the required file and wait for the required data to be loaded.
