Medium: Code addresses include the segment address, reloading CS on access and allowing up to 1M of code.

Code accesses don’t change the CS register, allowing 64K of code.

Compact: Data addresses include both segment and offset, reloading the DS or ES registers on access and allowing up to 1M of data.

Small: All memory accesses are 16-bit (segment registers unchanged).

Tiny: All memory accesses are 16-bit (segment registers unchanged).

The general concept is to set different segment registers in the x86 CPU (CS, DS, ES, SS) to point to the different or same segments, therefore allowing various degrees of access to memory.

MS-DOS compilers was introduced with the memory models having the 64K memory limitation. Setup.exe, Install.exe and cmd.exe are some common and well familiar names of EXE files. It is the standard file format to run applications on Windows.

Application developers mostly publish their programs for Windows OS in executable format as exe files.

exe file is a program that can be executed on Microsoft Windows operating system. NET Framework executable format, extra metadata is included to allow reflection at runtime.The word EXE is short for executable. These metadata can include the company that published the program, the date the program was created, the version number and more. In MS-DOS, the COM file format does not normally include metadata, while the EXE file and Windows PE formats do. The Java Platform, Standard Edition since J2SE 5.0 has included a metadata facility to allow additional annotations that are used by development tools. In Java, the class file format contains metadata used by the Java compiler and the Java virtual machine to dynamically link classes and to support reflection. However, it is difficult if not impossible to precisely distinguish program "metadata" from general aspects of stored-program computing architecture if the machine reads it and acts upon it, it is a computational instruction, and the prefix "meta" has little significance. Most executable file formats include what may be termed "metadata" that specifies certain, usually configurable, behavioral runtime characteristics.

^ Metadata is casually used to describe the controlling data used in software architectures that are more abstract or configurable.

In addition to the binary application code, the executables may contain headers and tables with relocation and fixup information as well as various kinds of meta data.

This is a comparison of binary executable file formats which, once loaded by a suitable executable loader, can be directly executed by the CPU rather than being interpreted by software.
