How do I look inside an .exe file to view the programming

[corbyguy]

Hello

I have downloaded an .exe program file and I would like to look inside this
.exe program file to have a look at, view and read the details of the
program.

Does anyone know of a program that I can use to open up this .exe file so I
can view and read the written program?

That's a question pretty much equivalent to asking "Where in my car are
the full plans and building specifications hidden?" There are ways of
programming where the "program" that you run is the "source code", the
text that the programmer writes. But pretty well none of those produce
.exe files.

Most .exe files are written in programming languages that are
"compiled". This term has a special meaning for computer people: it
means translating the program from the form that a human can read and
write into a form whereby the computer's processor can run it. This is
not, in general, a reversible process. Many kinds of information that
humans find important or vital in working with a program's source code
are discarded in the process of compilation. This includes all the names
for parts of the program and for items of data within it, all the
explanatory text, and many more things not easily described.

Further, you are in quite the wrong place to be asking this question. To
continue with the car analogy, you have done the equivalent of walking
into a meeting of metallurgists - people who develop metal alloys, not
cars - and asking them about your car, without knowing what make or
model your car is. Nobody is blaming you for this because your naivety
is pretty obvious, but you aren't likely to get the kind of help you
need.

Do you have any experience of computer programming at all? You would
need that to make sense of the source code of any program. If not, you
may wish to learn it, but it is not something that you can pick up in a
few newsgroup postings. It's about as complex, and boring as chartered
accountancy, but much more subdivided. For example, you would expect any
accountant to be able to make some sense of the books of any company.
This is not true with programmers: if accountants were divided into
fifty or so different schools, of widely varying size, that did the
books for different kinds of companies in utterly incompatible ways,
disagreeing over the meanings of terms such as "profit" and "income",
they'd be much more like programmers.

If you want to learn programming, expect to spend money on books about
it, programs for doing it, and some basic training courses. Expect it to
take time: months for basic proficiency, years to get good at it.

Given how poorly your question is asked, I doubt the answer would be
of any use to you. It's like if someone asked, "what tools would I
need to build a bridge across the Hudson River?" Anyone who wouldn't
even mention what kind of bridge he's building is obviously not going
to be able to build a bridge even with the right tools.

(Is this a Windows executable? 32-bits? And what does this have to do
with comp.programming.threads subject matter?)

But, FWIW, here's an example of the type of program you think you're
looking for:

Having a little trouble with a few things so it came to me that I might get a lead (an idea) if I could learn a little about the x.exe that I was attempting to run.
Does this mean that I need or want to learn programming? No, where did that assumption come from that led to all that "look-at-me feedback?
As suggested below I am looking into PE Explorer and "elsewhere for my two-cents worth.

Is human-body an example of encapsulation? perhaps because the internal components like heart and lunge are not visible to outsiders(other people).
one of my friend said that
"it's not because when we breath in polluted air(interaction with outsider world) we become ill..on the other hand encapsulation protects everything from outside"

I thought it should be an example of Encapsulation :(

Sometimes I want to install a wireless networki card or printer driver on a computer. Some wireless network card and printer driver packages
come with extra software you don't need. A lot of times preventing the installation of this "bloatware" is impossible. When you click that single ".exe" or ".msi" file the installation process automatically throws the unnecessary software on your computer no matter what.

To prevent the extra software from installing you need to open up the ".exe" or ".msi" file on your computer. When you do this you will see all the contents within the ".exe" or ".msi" independently accessible.

Note: The video tutorial below shows you how to extract an ".exe" file but it will work the same way to extract an ".msi" file.

In the following Extracting an ".exe" File video tutorial I will take you step-by-step and you will easily learn the following…

2. How-To extract an .exe file onto your desktop and look at its contents

Yes, black magic.

And also a complete suite of white hat decryption and reverse-engineering tools.

That's what you need to read an already compiled file's source code. And even after reverse-engineering it, it may still not be correct.

ok jamie I will join this old thread. I like others have been able to edit a

you need an editor like previous person said - low level capable of displaying
all the funny looking code. remember to save the orig. file and edit away at will. save file under different name and try running. Remember to not change things that disrupt the flow and structure of code. At times you will want to
re-allign things or delete or add delimiters. You can modify programs this way
but it is like playing slots with out more knowledge. I have removed hardware
devices this way and added stop prompting to 32bit programs. I stopped doing
this crap years ago but remember some good results after trial and error time.
get a free 16 bit compiler like pascal or fortran - enter some simple examples
with I/O included - compile - hack .exe you made. then you will see. try infoed

Hi,

To be honest I don't understand what the guy did wrong by asking this question. Sometimes I download various kinds of programms such as game save editors, and I kind of want to be sure that there is no malicious code sitting in that .exe file when I run it. My knowledge of programming languages may be limited, but it still allows me to figure out when something is wrong. So thank you for asking the question, Jamie

HOW ABOUT JUST TRY TO ANSWER IT AS BEST AS YOU CAN INSTEAD OF BEING A FUCKIN PUNK ABOUT IT.. Just like you can open up Disk Images/ISO you CAN open a EXE file as well and see the files and data assosiated with the file.

I actually can't believe this has been going since 2007, anyway i was just trying to do this for a program that my mate and I created in Visual Studio but i lost the source project and was thinking of modifying the code.

In my humble opinion, some of the "experts" put too much thought in the wrong direction. Either they didn't understand exactly what the OP was asking, or they simply did not know the answer. Why is it so hard for an "expert" to say, "I don't know". And let someone who knows the answer chime in. Rather than going off on a rant about nothing.

Thor was able to answer the OP's question in a 1 short sentence.

Just my two cents. From someone who's been in IT a very long time on both sides of the fence.

You all take care.

Please learn how to speak and type proper English before you make this country look even more ridiculous. What are you, FIVE?

I don't know. Maybe we should all get over our shelves. It might be relaxing and I might find that comic I lost, 'bout a month ago.

yeah, ancient thread, TL,DR mostly... But did anyone ask the guy for more of what he was trying???

Corbyguy, if you are still there :) what do you mean by 'view and read the written program' ??? Note I am ONLY talking about the .EXE file!

are you hoping to find something like this?? :)

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("hello World!");
return 0;
}

sorry, not that simple, as above posters have tried to say, it is 'compiled/ converted in to 'machine code' that the computer can use, eg..

74 20 62 65 20 72 75 6E 20 69 6E 20 44 4F 53 20

you can download a 'hex editor' for this, so you can see how to **totally ruin** your windows if not careful!!

Hi there, I'm pretty new to programming and have been working as an intern for about 4 months now. I think someone has already mentioned this but JetBrains has a great decompiler that I've used on the job to expose a .exe program (that is using .NET assemblies) written by one of the company's partners. It's simple to use, you can just drag and drop your .exe program file in the "Assembly Explorer" panel.

Here's the link, enjoy: http://www.jetbrains.com/decompiler/

Oh yeah xD... This should help you Alot more xD Look at this link

Link the help: https://www.wikihow.com/Make-an-Exe-File

Why is every computer tech forum full of a bunch of pretentious assholes who have no friends? You wimpy asses would get your teeth knocked out in the real world.

[Robert Wessel]

And yet *you're* the one who found enough free time and motivation to
reply to a decade-old Usenet post.

[emadams]

Likewise.

Yes, I googled the exact same question. I can't help but notice the pompous attitudes on every forum that I read when googling questions. It is worth noting.

How else was he supposed to ask the question? Did you want the question in source code format as well??

[tbtu...@gmail.com]

What you find "informative" is also PAINSTAKINGLY written as a backhanded compliment", per se. Call it what you want, many people are dicks to a novice to their profession. But you may be one of "them", so this still shoots straight over your head.
