Download Help!!!

Hi, I am wanting to download a .exe software program on my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3... Is this even possible? There is Lso a Mac version of the download available if that would be more possible...

Should be able to. Try using Chrome, that doesn't care about the file suffix. You won't be able to run .exe Windows programs of course, not on Android.

I am using Chrome. It will download but then it will noy open the file.

You cannot open (aka'run') a .exe file (application) on an Android device. .exe files only work on Windows.

Ok, and there is no way around that? Any way I can convert it or run it on the web?

Whatever you are trying to run is a windows program. Android doesn't use .exe

An .exe file will not run natively on Android, I would check if they have an Android version available.

Last year the WINE team announced they were making a version for Android, but I haven't heard of it being available yet. WINE lets you run Windows programs on Linux.
