preventing probing for the .exe when launching from a href

If i create a simple windows form .exe then launch it via a href, why does
the .net framework/iis search in multiple places and for multiple files
derived from the actual .exe name. ( most of which don't exist )

eg;
2005-03-01 04:47:35 10.2.5.229 GET
/Components/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup.exe - 80 - 10.2.5.232 200 0 0
16621 314 15
2005-03-01 04:47:40 10.2.5.229 GET
/Components/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup.DLL - 80 - 10.2.5.232 404 0 2
1795 264 0
2005-03-01 04:47:40 10.2.5.229 GET
/Components/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup.DLL - 80 - 10.2.5.232 404 0 3 1795 300 0
2005-03-01 04:47:40 10.2.5.229 GET
/Components/bin/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup.DLL - 80 - 10.2.5.232 404

2005-03-01 04:47:40 10.2.5.229 GET
/Components/bin/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup.DLL - 80 - 10.2.5.232 404 0 3 1795 304 0

2005-03-01 04:47:40 10.2.5.229 GET
/Components/Softix.Platform .Application.St artup.exe - 80 - 10.2.5.232 304 0 0

Is there anyway to stop this behaviour ?

Does anyone know what causes and how to prevent getting System.IO.FileLoadException everytime you launch a new version of an .exe via a href. ? The error reads...An exception 'System.IO.FileLoadException' has occured in IEExec.exe. 2nd attempt works fine. Its just the initial download after updating the .exe. I've seen various other people having the same problem, but no explanations

Hi guys, I have written a web service, but I want clients to be able to consume it without having the .NET framework installed on their PC. The web service doesn't return any values; it is just used to record requests: a user can send their personal ID to the web service, and this is stored in a database. Is is possible to launch this request from a hyperlink? What other options have I got in terms of launching this service from a...

With the body tag calling out 'window onload', a function with a 'window.open' fails at the 'window.open' line. If I cut out the body tag, the function executes as normal. At first I thought it was the entire function failing, but I tested with alerts and found that it was only the 'window.open' that fails to execute. The function is being called by a link, and I suspected some problem with the body alink/vlink but after cutting that out...

I've read that one must return false from an onclick handler attached to an anchor if we wanted to prevent the browser from following the href. In a greasemonkey script I'm hacking together with duct tape and chicken wire the links that I'm creating follow the hrefs, killing the associated action. To get around this, I'm assigning the URL which I need in the logMe function to a made up attribute, rather than use newlink.href as I do...

Hello, my web-application uses two frames, one with a list of database records, one with a record detail view. From the detail view there is "mark" function that will mark the respective record in the list frame (with a special color). Now this mark function is meant to toggle the mark status in the list frame, i.e. switch it on with the first click and off with the second. Problem is, the marking works, but the second click will not have...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
