I can't run exe file__

I can't run the exe in Vista

such as control.exe

Go to http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/22/reset-and-fix-broken-windows-vista-file-ext-and-type-associations-include-exe-com-sys-zip-lnk-folder-drive/ and run the option for .exe files.  This should restore the association files with .exe files and you should be in business.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Satellite M70-360: CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll

    I accidently deleted the ekecioctl.dll and now whenever I start my laptop (Satellite M70-360) I get an error message saying that CEekey.eke can not run because its the missing dll. Anyone know where I can download the dll?

    Thank you

    Hello

    The CEekey.exe seems to be part of the Toshiba E - key utility.
    Therefore, you should try to reinstall this utility to obtain the keys working again.

    Another clue; have you tried to restore the operating system to the early time point?
    XP supports the System Restore tool. You can easily put the BONE at an early stage and the E key should work again I hope ;)

  • Can not run the executable file by LV7.1

    Hi all

    I'm surprised, I can't build and run the executable file LV7.1.

    I used to write a few vi with LV7.1 and built the executable according to these vi. It was no problem to build and run this executable file at that time. Now I can open these vi well with LV7.1, bu I can't run this executable file, it will be a mistake, please refer to the attachment. I'm trying to compile an executable file according to a simple vi, and then I can't run this exe file much more.

    Can you help me solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

    Evan

    @Christian: this is not correct.

    One of the reasons to do this is if LV 7.1.1 is installed, and then you install an application, including the runtime engine built in 7.1. It corrupts the execution engine.
