Whether decompilation is even an option depends on the type of application. It often works for Java and .NET (C#) applications, yet for native code one usually has to resort to disassembling instead.

So other than that it would not work? I tried ILSpy but it doesn't work (not supported)

Have you checked the file commands output? It might be able to tell you what you're dealing with. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_(command)
