converting .exe to .iso

[adamussg]

I am trying to convert an exe file to iso. Never tried this before. Can someone help walk me through it? Any suggestions for programs that may help?

 

[MixedLogik]

Correct me if im wrong, your trying to burn a .iso image to a Disk. If that is it, Nero 7 or Nero 6 Buring ROM can do that.

You can also use Alchohal 120 and use the image making tool

You cant convert an exe to iso. Iso is a cd image, and an exe is an executable file; no where near similar. You can put an exe within an iso, but thats about it as far as isos and exes.

What exactly are you trying to do?

i am trying to put an exe.program on a cd/dvd that will boot in a mac when putting it in the cd drive.

Are you trying to make a bootable CD (one that starts when you power the system on) or an autoplaying CD (one that starts up when you put it in the drive after the computer is started)?

is a iso file a mac version of exe?

No. It's like a bootable type of file I think... like the .iso version of Memtest86...

 

[Cromewell]

In this case iso is just an image of a cd. It isn't necessarily bootable it's just a copy of what a CD/DVD looks like.

If you are trying to do the opposite of this: http://www.computerforum.com/128407-using-iso-file.html forget it. You won't succeed.
This guy (in the link) was trying to convert a .dmg (mac executable) to .iso and make it work on windows.
So if you're trying to convert a .exe (windows executable) to .iso forget it, it won't work.

But you can burn an .exe file to an .iso file, burning the iso or mounting it will work. Nero Burning ROM can help you there.

He just wants to burn the .iso
Use Nero, as brian said, althrough i'll go for alcohol 120% because i wouldnt want to install all the bloatware just to burn an iso...

if you're trying to run a windows program on a mac computer you need source code. you also need a compiler to put it into the mac's format of coding. a lot of programs source code can be found on the internet. ".exe" files dont normally have entire programs inside of them, instead they use other files inside of their folders and they manipulate other files around them.. which is what makes them so dangerous. but, most .exe files aren't malicious.. however they have the potential to be. this is why apple doesn't bother with them.

Screw burning it on a disc. Use software such as Daemon Tools, PowerISO, MagicISO and just virtually mount them.

daemon tools rocks for a free program. i think it took me 20 seconds to install halo from one hard drive to my system drive.
