Windows application to the browser

Hello all...

I have a standalone windows application, written in C++ that we are looking to be able to run from the browser. The reason being is that we need it to run on machines where users cannot install software, and are unable to get admins to install software on. ( i know it sucks)

Is there any way to create some type of controller or something that would allow the entire application to be able to run out of a browser ?
( this is the first time I have tried to write anything for a browser and not standalone windows)

any help would be appreciated! thanks

Write your application in C++. Use a global object with a default constructor. This constructor is automaticaally called when the object is created.

Now, put your entire application inside the default constructor. This is what MFC does with the CWinApp class:

[code]
CWinApp theApp;
int main()
{

}
[\code]

When the application is complete, just return. That will return the default constructor and that will return control to the browser.

Of course, you can just write in XML and create a Web app.

Or, use .NET and write in C#.
