We want it to be downloaded automatically so that they can run it from
their local machine. we dont want the users to click download then
browse then save it. we want it to be saved automatically to a
directory that we define

You have (almost) no chance of doing that. The whole architecture of web applications is designed to prevent precisely this sort of behaviour. Imagine how much fun virus and trojan writers could have if it were possible for them to download a file onto a user's machine into a directory of their choice and then run that file, all without any interaction from the user...

I would strongly urge you to rethink your design...
