I searched this topic on here, and I've read about them being windows files, etc... but also elsewhere mention of exe files being just one type of compressed file, etc...
basically, I see on some of the p2p sites that ALL program files I download (not copy protected programs... not asking for advice on breaking the law) that are specifically designated as mac os x files come in zipped files. when I click open, they automatically unzip and show files containing exe files. If it was the odd one out that did this, I would assume there was some mixup and I was looking at the windows version of these programs... but ALL of the dozens of files are this way.
Am I doing something wrong? Are these just exe because of the way they are zipped? Do I really need to run windows to open these? If so, how do I do installations into my mac os x applications folder?
