unexecutable

Impossible to execute

Unexecutable describes something that cannot be carried out or performed.

In computing, unexecutable code fails to run—whether due to errors, missing permissions, or incompatible formats: The corrupted file was unexecutable.

More broadly, an unexecutable plan or order is one that circumstances make impossible to implement: The strategy proved unexecutable given our limited resources.
