Running an exe file from an Action Button
November 5, 2009 12:00 AM
I don't think any browser will let you automatically run an exe from the web, or for that matter run directly with a prompt. The user must download locally first then run it, for security purposes.
Scribes said:I am developing a title which is intended to provide easy access to some self learning course material. This comprises two documents together with a group of course files which are to be downloaded to the delegates PC from a zipped exe file (WinZip). I have successfully used the 'Launch a program/document' action setting to open both PDF files and run the exe file, both in Preview Mode and using Preview after publishing. However, when the title is posted to a server the WinZip exe file only prompts to save to a location rather than simply allowing the file to run. Does anyone have any ideas how tho get around this?
