I have come across this instance in the past, a few apps which might
help Russ out, if I understand his issue here, are 1. Keka
(http://www.kekaosx.com/en/) - Keka is a free file archiver for macOS
the main compression core is p7zip (7-zip port)
Compression formats supported:
7z, Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, DMG, ISO
Extraction formats supported:
RAR, 7z, Lzma, xz, Zip, Tar, Gzip, Bzip2, ISO, EXE, CAB, PAX
and 2. (copied off the web...) there is a "dirty" way to open it.
Just rename the file extension to ".zip" (and confirm the dialog), and
open it with Stuffit Expander. It doesn't work with Panther's built-in
zip-extractor (BOMArchiveHelper) -- so don't double-click the file,
but choose "Open with > Stuffit Expander" from the contextual menu
(control-click on the file). I tested this with Stuffit Expander
7.0.3, but my guess is that you can use almost any version...
You can also use the command-line utility unzip in Terminal -- in that
case, you don't even have to rename the file. A simple unzip
thisfile.exe is enough to get things going. I believe this command
comes with Panther, but I'm not sure. Either way, you can obtain it
from the Fink package called "zip."
Seven Ways to Open EXE Files in Mac OS X
EXE files are made for users of Microsoft's Windows, but today you
have several ways to use EXE files on your Mac.
File Juicer, Parallels, Fusion, ClamAV, Virtual PC Boot Camp,
&
Crossover are other possible options.
