How can I convert my.exe file into a.dmg file for a friend? So I have a.exe file (It's a relatively small file, 11,000KB) and I want to convert it to a.dmg file for a friend who has a macbook. Is there anyway I can do this through my laptop (which is a macbook using bootcamp).
- Part 1: Can You Run an EXE File on a Mac? With how innovative and creative developers have become, it was only a matter of time before they devised a means to run EXE files on Mac, even though such files are incompatible with macOS.
- To use it, you must drag and drop a dmg image on top of its icon. Dmg2iso will automatically start the conversion process, first generating a.cdr file which later gets renamed to the final.iso.
I was wondering if there is any software around that can convert .exe files to .dmg files
The only time it would help to do that would be if the .exe file was a self expanding Zip archive. And then only if the contents were even usable on a Mac.
.exe files are a Windows executable. A program in other words. Unless you're running Windows in an emulator such as Parallels or Virtual PC, they won't do you a bit of good.
If you could even find a program to decompile (reverse engineer) an .exe file and recompile for the Mac OS, it would be illegal to do so most of the time. Pretty much any commercial software forbids such action.
Also, quite a bit of .exe files you may download are installer programs for Windows. So it would produce yet more .dll, .exe and other Windows-centric files.
