Disable run option

Hi

I am currently offering a download of an executable.
This is linked directly through HTML:
<a href='/downloads/install.exe'>DOWNLOAD</a>

Now, we have some problems when a user clicks "RUN" and not "SAVE".

Is it possible to disable this run option?

TIA

No. This is done on the client side browser, so you won't have any
control over this.
