Detailed explanation-1: -An executable file (EXE file) is a computer file that contains an encoded sequence of instructions that the system can execute directly when the user clicks the file icon. Executable files commonly have an EXE file extension, but there are hundreds of other executable file formats.
Detailed explanation-2: -The .exe file extension is short for “executable.” These files are most commonly used on Windows® computers to install or run software applications.
