How to run an msi files on Mac?

Hello Calvin,

Good Day, MSI files are windows installation package files, they need a windows system for you to run it. Have you check if there is a Mac Version of the program you're trying to install? That would be your best chance. If there isn't, Install a Virtual Box in your Mac System. Windows XP would be the best choice. Once you install Windows in Virtualbox, Then you can install that program there.

You can download Virtualbox from this site:

Hope this helps.

How to run an msi files on Mac?

Hi,

Good day,

You can't run the MSI files on mac, because it’s a files extension on Microsoft OS. MSI file is a window installer file and we can’t open it on mac obviously. You need to download Virtualbox program to install windows OS there in your mac OS. Then after that viola you can install MSI file in your computer. I think that information will help you. I’m happy to help you God bless.
