I need to download engine management maps for my motorcycle fuel management... These .exe files I download I cannot open despite all my efforts (Stuffit e.g.).
Anyone know?
TIA

How do I open .exe files?

.exe files are Windows executables, a.k.a. Applications. You'll need Windows or VPC running Windows
Some of the .exe files are self extracting zip archives...stoid said:
Don't remember which ones will do it anymore, you can try.

But I don't have the HD with the utility I downloaded inside the machine right now, and I cannot recall the name of the utility.
even if you get to open those files how do you upload them onto or into the motorcycle ecu?
you either need to run virtual pc on your mac or get a pc laptop.
since we don't know the specifics her is what i did with my car (kinda like the same situation the software is only windows based in configuration with a serial port) I just bought an old ibm laptop (they are really cheap).
hope that helps!?!?
Thanks guys.... Well I was hoping to see if I could find a utility or go around but I guess when they say you need a PC, you need a PC. Can you believe I have been looking for someone with a PC to use around where I live and not one person with a laptop to load the applicable maps into my bike... we are taking over but does nothing for my bike!

I'll say it again... VIRTUAL PC.

I've been informed VPC won't work in all instances if an app is written for a Pentium chip. I wanted to use my iMac to configure my home theater equipment; however I was informed VPC wouldn't help as this particular app required a Pentium chip.
I haven't tested this theory - I thought it best to just use a ThinkPad I have vs. investing in VPC...
