Windows is the only application that supports .exe applications. You can install Windows in your Mac operating system using Parallels or VMWare Fusion.

Well, there is also Crossover which goes without Windows, but more likely than not it will not work with your application.

If you don't want to reboot for the few applications you need to run, you can use a virtualization technology like Parallels to run Windows within Mac OS X.

Parallels is your best bet. Works seamlessly with OS X and will allow you to run any Windows app that doesn't require hardcore graphics (i.e., games).

Out of interest, what are the apps? Maybe theres a (better) mac equivalent!
I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.

WINE may also support this application on an Intel machine. It's the open source edition of Crossover Office.
