Yes.

<EXECUTEPROGRAM> MyProgram.exe </EXECUTEPROGRAM>

Look into ActiveX. I am afraid that HTML is of least helpful for your requirement. This has become a browser side scripting question you see. No matter if your program is written in VC++ or C or C#.

Browsers don't allow you to do that. They simply open up a download box where you can click on Open to run it from its current location AFAIK.

Try creating an Active-X. Otherwise you'll get the "open,save,cancel" dialog popped.

I think it is quite difficult to implement, because that is against security settings of the browser. But there is a lateral way to do that. 1. Create a simple COM dll , and implement a function say Execute() in the dll. 2. In execute function; write the code to start your executable. (use System() or ShellExecute() functions ) 3. In your HTML write some client side scripts to Create the COM object and call the Execute() function. This is my idea to resolve the problem. -- modified at 0:40 Monday 29th May, 2006
