SUMMARY

Running an .exe file on an Apple iPad is inherently challenging due to the differences in operating systems (Windows vs iPadOS) and hardware architectures (x86 vs ARM). Users may need to explore frameworks like Mono or utilize virtual machines, although specific solutions for executing .exe files on iPadOS are limited. Historical references to iDOS suggest that there have been attempts to run .exe files on iPads, but current methods remain unclear and untested.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of operating system architectures (Windows vs iPadOS)
  • Familiarity with ARM and x86 chipsets
  • Knowledge of virtualization concepts and tools
  • Awareness of frameworks like Mono for cross-platform compatibility
NEXT STEPS
  • Research virtualization tools compatible with iPadOS
  • Explore Mono framework for running Windows applications on non-Windows systems
  • Investigate iDOS and its capabilities for running .exe files
  • Learn about ARM architecture and its implications for software compatibility
USEFUL FOR

Individuals interested in running Windows applications on iPads, software developers exploring cross-platform solutions, and technology enthusiasts examining virtualization on mobile devices.

what conditions do i need to implement in order to run an exe on an ipad

A lot. It is both a different operating system (Windows vs iPadOS) and a different chip set (x86 vs ARM I suppose). So, that is going to be really hard, you need some kind of framework like mono, but then for this case. I have no idea if that even exists.
 
You will probably need a virtual machine like this one for example. (Although I never tried it personally.)

What does your question have to do with JavaScript?

What kind of .EXE exactly?
Once upon a time there was iDOS :wink:

Um...it would be easier to answer if it did? :smile:

I'm old enough to remember DEC's TOPS-10 and VAX/VMS operating systems, which both had .EXE files IIRC.
