Software that certain applications depend on to run in the computer. The runtime engine must be running in the computer in order for the application to execute. It provides common routines and functions that the applications require, and it typically converts the program, which is in an interim, intermediate language, into machine language.

One might call an operating system a runtime engine because it is always required. Indeed, it "is" the essential runtime engine. However, an operating system is not classified as a runtime engine, but it would fall into the "runtime environment"

Well , RTE Stands for "Runtime Environment."
It has two formats (1) RTE Encoded File (2) Navigation Route

1) RTE Encoded File : It is a type of Compressed Files. RTEncoder format developed for exchanging copyrighted files, uses an encoded format to protect the copyright

2) Navigation Route : Map with a navigation route from one point to another, used by GPS navigation systems. This comes under data files.

While developers use RTE software to build programs, RTE programs are available to everyday computer users as well. Software such as Adobe Flash Player and Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer allow Flash movies and PowerPoint presentations to be run within the player software. These programs provide a runtime environment for their respective file formats. The most common type of RTE, however, is the Java RTE (or JRE), which allows Java applets and applications to be run on any computer with JRE installed.

RTE stands for Runtime Environment, which is used to describe the state of a running program. Therefore, an RTE file could also be the output of a program while it is running or may be the program itself. If it is a program written in Java, opening the file should run the program automatically as long as the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed on your computer.

well anish If you find an unknown file on your computer with the file type listed as RTE, it may be an RTEncoded file. These files typically have an .RTE file extension. For more information about RTE files and what programs open them, view the .RTE File Extension entry.

RTE also stands for Runtime Environment, which is used to describe the state of a running program.

RTE file is a "Runtime Environment" file. As soon as a software program is executed, it is in a runtime state. In this state, the program can send instructions to the computer's processor and access the computer's memory (RAM) and other system resources. When software developers write programs, they need to test them in the runtime environment. Therefore, software development programs often include an RTE component that allows the programmer to test the program while it is running. When you see the name of a software program with the initials "RTE" after it, it usually means the software includes a runtime environment. The most common type of RTE, however, is the Java RTE (or JRE), which allows Java applets and applications to be run on any computer with JRE installed.
