There are several possible reasons, but the most common is that the computer operating system doesn't recognise the file is an executable program.
Files with an extension of .exe are executable files. This type of file is one which is used to open applications games etc. it is the main file for each program. For example to open Internet Explore when you doubel click on the icon it actually make the ie.exe file open up and this gives you the internet explorer window.
An MP3 file should not be executable unless it is a malicious file. Don't open it.
A .exe file is an executable file. Opening an exe file will run a program. Before you open it, make sure that it is a legitimate program. It may run malware that will corrupt your files.
That is the file extension. Each file has this extension to tell the system what to do with the file. For example, a program has .exe at the end. This means that it is an executable file, so the system will launch it as a standard executable. A document has .doc or .docx. The system checks file association when you run it, and tells whatever program is set to handle documents to open that file. If you have MS Word, then it will open the file. If you use Open Office, then that program will open it. If you change the extension, then a different program will try to open the file. For example, changing a .jpg to a .txt will open notepad. However, the file is not actually plain text, so you will see many pages of gibberish, since notepad doesn't really know what to do with the image file.
An 'exe' extension file is created by a compiler that translates source code to machine code, usually in a Windows environment. An executable program can open any file (including other executable files) by using the standard file API calls with a binary open option. Unless you are doing something very specific with executable files it doesn't make much sense to read in an executable file from another executable file or program.
Just double click. It's an executable file.
A file with the .exe extension is an executable file that can be opened by Windows or MS-DOS that opens a program. It is also known as a program file. A file with the .pdf extension, however, is a document file that can be open by Adobe Reader, Word 2013, or other compatible programs. It is impossible to convert an exe file to a pdf file.
In a canonical C compiler, you type "cc (program file name).c (return) and it spits out "a.out", which is an executable. Works with the original Kernighan and Ritchie C compiler. For C++, use the .cpp extension and "g++" for the compiler: In a terminal window, on MacOS, 'cc (program name).c (return)' 'g++ (program name).cpp (return)' produces an executable named "a.out", which can be run. '-o (some file name . extension) will change the output file name.
how programs are executed? Let we take C, how a c program is executing.... A first step we have to install a particular software for a execution so here we are installing turbo c then open the bin folder after the installation ,you will find on executable file named TC.exe it will look like a command prompt that only executing your c program files and giving another executable file for your program as output. to check fisrt create any simple program and first compile it and see the bin folder you will find one file named filename.obj and then run that program and now you will find another file filename.exe,that is an output file.
