No... and thanks. The windows mentality just confuses me honestly.

You're not a Windows user, are you? :-)

The general answer is no: It must have a .exe extension to run via
double-clicking in Explorer, or by providing the path in a Command prompt.

Exceptions include .bat and .com files, but these don't really count for
what you're asking.

[Scons-dev] Windows executables

[William Blevins]

Team,

I have a really dumb question (probably).

Some of the SCons tests that execute binaries have code to check whether or
not the platform is win32. If win32, then add ".exe" extension to the
executable name. Is this a requirement or just a convention?

Can you not run an executable on Windows that doesn't have the extension?

V/R,
William
