RIGGY

Hi guys,

Just asking for my friend at work.

He's having problem doing a script that will run a .EXE program without the "Run/Save" prompt from IE. He just wants the program to run right away without any questions after he click the image link. The program is located in the main hard drive.

He is designing a touchscreen Kiosk and hes kinda stuck with this problem.



Any suggestions?

I know nothing, but here's a guess: I would think that is impossible due to security. I don't think I would ever want to visit a website where it would run an executable without my knowledge/permission. I prefer to see a dialog box/prompt first.

Dman

I'm pretty sure that will not work in a browser, he would need to write the code in a script language like jave, php, actionscript etc., then it would run. I don't think browsers have the ability to run executables.

If the browser is IE use a url in the form

Security, rofl

He could design the interface directly on the site through Java or something as Dman said. It would be really cool as I'm not sure if you've seen it, but there's an email provider thingy called GMX which acts like a regular program interface like Thunderbird or Outlook, but it's all done online through their site, aka very cool.

Looks like you can also do it with javascript

javascript run executable

You laugh like I was saying "IE's security is great."

This is not going to work from a browser... that would spell the end of the internet... just think if any site could run .exe's on our machines whenever they pleased?

You could run a local webserver on the kiosk and write a Perl/PHP script that launches the EXE in question.

It's also possible to launch a local EXE using a piece of invisible Flash somewhere on the page, but since they nerfed that functionality in the latest Flash CS3, so may have to roll-back to something earlier than Flash Player 9 for it to work.
