Next click Browse and navigate to the executable. appīundle, put a script inside that invokes Wine, and associate it with EXEįiles using an ist file. Select the bottle created and double click on Run Command. (It's weird that they open in TextEdit normally you get a 'NoĪpplication knows how to open 'filename.exe'' message.) If you want toĭouble-click on EXEs to open them, you have to create an application The problem is that no application you have really knows how to open EXEįiles. exe in terminal but it is less than convenient. It opens in TextEdit instead of launching in wine. There should really be no reason to produce video this way today.I can not figure out for the life of me how to launch an executable by clicking on it. The idea of providing a CD with an Autoplay.exe dates back to when some computers didn't even have software that could play video and video file formats were not standard. They should be able to provide these in a way that is much more friendly to multiple platforms. That's your best bet.Ī better method would be to go back to whomever is generating these videos and explain that they are using an old method that only works on Windows. Once you find the video itself, you may be able to open it in QuickTime Player, or maybe the more versatile VLC app. I would look for files deep in there that are large and have extensions like.

Most likely the video is another file there, perhaps in a subfolder. Although it is possible to have the video embedded inside the application, I don't think that is what is happening here. exe files are not the video, but the application that plays the video. It sounds like these are CDs that are supposed to autoplay when you insert the CD into a Windows computer. Naturally, you can only run these while running Windows.
