Re: execute RPM files

What do you mean by "execute a RPM file"? RPM files are not
executable. If you mean "open" then "yes". Just install rpm. If you
mean "install", probably yes, but it wouldn't make sense. As you could
know this relates to the question "is it possible to run Linux
binaries on Windows?" The answer is "no, of course".
