what conditions do i need to implement in order to run an exe on an ipad
How do I run an exe file on an Apple iPad?
In summary, running an exe file on an Apple iPad is not directly possible, as iOS does not support Windows executable files. However, users can explore alternatives such as using remote desktop applications to access a Windows PC that can run the exe file, or utilizing virtualization software to run Windows on a compatible device. Additionally, some developers may offer iOS-compatible versions of their software that can perform similar functions.

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.)

I'm old enough to remember DEC's TOPS-10 and VAX/VMS operating systems, which both had .EXE files IIRC.Rive said:What kind of .EXE exactly?

FAQ: How do I run an exe file on an Apple iPad?
1. Can I run a Windows EXE file on my iPad?
No, iPads run on iOS, which is not compatible with Windows EXE files. EXE files are designed for Windows operating systems, and iOS does not support this format natively.
2. Is there any way to run EXE files on an iPad?
While you cannot run EXE files directly on an iPad, you can use remote desktop applications that allow you to access a Windows computer from your iPad. This way, you can run the EXE file on the remote computer while controlling it from your iPad.
3. What are some apps I can use to access a Windows PC from my iPad?
Popular remote desktop applications include Microsoft Remote Desktop, TeamViewer, and AnyDesk. These apps allow you to connect to a Windows PC and run applications, including EXE files, remotely.
4. Are there any alternatives to running EXE files on an iPad?
Instead of running EXE files, look for alternative apps available on the App Store that provide similar functionality. Many software developers offer iOS versions of their applications or web-based alternatives that can be accessed through a browser.
5. Can I use a virtual machine to run Windows on my iPad?
Running a full virtual machine on an iPad is not feasible due to hardware and software limitations. However, some cloud-based services offer virtual Windows environments that you can access via your iPad, allowing you to run EXE files in a browser interface.
