How to run a .exe on Android

Solved

Hello,

I would like to launch a game that does not require any installation on Android. To be launched, the game has an .exe file accompanied by a few other files.
I've searched a bit and I see that Android can in no way read .exe files.
Moreover, conversion to Android format is impossible because the programming is too different. So I was wondering if emulation is not impossible...
We can easily read a .gba file with an emulator, so why not a .exe :)
Thank you

Configuration: Windows 7 / Chrome 35.0.1916.114

Hello,
It's not possible, Android reads .APK files but not .EXE

Sincerely, Monday!

I would actually like to know if an emulator could do it :)

I don't think so, and the applications are downloaded in .apk.

.APK and .EXE, which incidentally have... absolutely nothing in common. Neither the programming language used, nor the targeted CPU architecture, nor the APIs used, nor even the file format. 2 totally different worlds. So clearly incompatible, although it seems to me that Wine has been ported to it, but it is over-experimental and was tested during a presentation... only on the SDK emulator, without KVM/HAXM acceleration or any optimizations.
