You did not specify it in the question, but I assume you do not have the source code. Just use File/Open Project/Solution, select EXE file and Open it. Then select Debug/Start debugging. The other option is to run the EXE first and then Select Debug/Attach to process.
This will extract the .exe to a local file on the local disk. The file will be deleted when the Java program exists. import java.io.Closeable; import java.io.File; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.OutputStream; import java.net.URI; import java.net.URISyntaxException; import java.net.URL; import java.security.CodeSource; import java.security.ProtectionDomain; import java.util.zip.ZipEntry; import java.util.zip.ZipException; import java.util.zip.ZipFile; public class … Read more
The Isaiah4110 answer is not the best way if you don´t need a UI. The simplest way to execute the exe file target you are installing through the MSI file produced by WiX is with a custom action type 18 (identifying the action by FileKey/FileRef), here you are a complete examples for v3/v4: WiX v3: … Read more
You can try osslsigncode To sign an EXE or MSI file you can now do: osslsigncode sign -certs <cert-file> -key <der-key-file> \ -n “Your Application” -i http://www.yourwebsite.com/ \ -in yourapp.exe -out yourapp-signed.exe or if you are using a PEM or PVK key file with a password together with a PEM certificate: osslsigncode sign -certs <cert-file> … Read more

MSDN has an article “An In-Depth Look into the Win32 Portable Executable File Format” that describes the structure of an executable file. Basically, a .exe contains several blobs of data and instructions on how they should be loaded into memory.

You have to create a manifest file that specifies that your application needs administrator permissions. You can include the manifest in your exe or keep it as a separate file (yourapp.exe.manifest) http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb756929.aspx
The only way I could bundle a JRE was to use Launch4J and Inno Setup Compiler. First, create a jre6 folder (for example) in the same directory as your output file (.exe). Then copy the JRE from your system into your jre6 folder. Then you open Launch4J and set the Bundled JRE path – just … Read more
Understand that every ‘freezing’ application for Python will not really secure your code in any way. Every packaging system for a stand-alone executable Python ‘program’ will include a lot of the Python libraries and interpreter, which will make your program pretty large.

This problem is from VS 2015 silently failing to copy ucrtbased.dll (debug) and ucrtbase.dll (release) into the appropriate system folders during the installation of Visual Studio.
