Can I run a ZIP file or EXE application on my iPad?
Asked by

I'm trying to get a Friday Night Funkin' mod to work on my iPad, but the sites hosting these mods keep crashing due to high memory usage. I'm wondering if there's a way to extract the ZIP file and run the EXE application inside using an app from the App Store. Is there any option available?

.zip files are basically archives, and you can’t run them directly. As for .exe files, those are strictly Windows executables and there's no way to run them on iOS, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, even if there were an app on iOS that could run a Windows EXE, it would be referring to file paths that just don’t exist on Apple devices. The EXE files are designed for Windows, and iOS isn't equipped to run them. However, you might try extracting the mod files using a tool on another platform and see if any of them could be compatible with iOS. Just keep in mind, that might not be a reliable solution.

Nope, iOS won’t let you run any Windows executables, not even through an app from the App Store. That's just how the system is set up.
