Re: Starting application from a web page

David,

Since, it seems that you have some knowledge of running
an application from a website. I know, I can run the
application from the website, but the application requires
a configuration file (.ini). I put some debug statements in,
and when the application runs locally, the application
looks for the configuration file in the local "c:\document and settings\...."
folder.

Obviously, I could hardcode all of the configuration data
into the application, but how can I get the application to look
on the website for the configuration file, instead of locally?

Thanks,
-jc

I don't think this is even possible unless you install an ActiveX control
that does a ShellExecute for you. You could download and run an
application, but youre user will get a ton of warnings about how it's
unsafe.


You could also link directly to the .exe file as I do here:

Clicking on the download link links to the .exe file. It's up to the
browser whether to try to run it directly or save the file.
