downloaded apk file and got exe file instead

gryphon101 · Jan 9, 2014

I've downloaded several android apps and when extracted the file is an .exe (windows) file instead. This is more common than I like. I download my apps from my usenetserver.
What, if anything, can I do with these .exe files to get them installed on my android device?

These files usually come compressed in zip format, as well.

I think I tried that, but will give it a go and see if it works.

Renamed the exe to apk, and didn't work. Gave a 'Problem Parsing the package' error

You've downloaded the apk from a warez site (of course), right!?

From Usenetserver. Via NewsLeecher.

Here is one of the links I'm trying to download and install today. It has an exe extension where I expect an apk.
