You cannot use MSI files,those are Windows installation files..
If you have the c/c++ sources, you can use Xcode to compile it. Otherwise, you need to be given a Mac binary to execute..

No, you cannot convert MSI into PKG (the Mac equivalent installer)..besides, if this is a Windows program you are after, then it wouldn't work on a Mac anyway..

Is it a console program or something else? You're not providing nearly enough information for us to be helpful to you..

No, exe files are Windows executables. If you want to manage those, you'll need to run Windows (which you can do on your Mac with either a virtual machine or Boot Camp).
You would do it the same way you would on any other platform. You can either install Xcode from the Mac App Store or, if you don't need Xcode, go here, create an account (if you don't already have one) and download the "Command Line Tools" package.
thank u so much,,,,now i found Xcode,,,,will install xcode app,,,
