Bin files are Unix-based directories that store programs, drivers or other contents on your PC. Converting these folder to exe simply means to open (or un-zip) them so your computer can read the individual files that are stored within (exe file extensions are PC specific). If your computer is not equipped with a program for opening bin files, there are several you may download. You may use any program capable of these conversions to mount bin files from either your PC or from a CD or DVD disc.

Step 1

Download and install a bin mounting program. Open your bin folder by clicking the "Open" button in the program's interface and locating the bin in the pop-up window. If using MagicDisc, you will need to click on its icon in the lower right-hand side of your main tasks panel.
