Microstation

hi,
i don't know how many people use microstation on their macs. i recently got a version of it, microstation se, and i don't know how to install it. when i put in the cd and search for the setup icon, i click it and it just asks me to choose an application to open install.exe. Can i not open a .exe file on this computer? Please help!

To add to bandit's post, to use your Windows applications you will need to install Windows into your MacBook by using either Boot Camp…

Hi
Late answer from a microstation user...

There is a mac (classic 9.x) version of the old microstation SE, with same licenses.

Now the newest version is only for windows: microstation XM.

Microstation has been the only reason for my pc at work along with my powerbook. But at home I'll run the old SE edition on the laptop..

Plan to run it on an intel mac book pro soon.

.exe files are windows executables and will only work under microsoft windows.
