Call a exe on client machine from a webform

Hi,
I have a webform, The link on the webform should call the exe program
installed on the client machine when the user click the link on the webform.
It should run the exe installed on the client machine. I am not able to run
the client application from my webform.
Any suggestions or link would be great help.

Thanx

And the error is ?

It's also likely it couldn't work with later browsers (AFAIK you'll nto be
able to reference a local resource from a page that comes from he "Internet"
zone (perhaps by adding the site in a more trusted zone ?)

Try perhaps first with a plain old htm page to see if this is the case.

You cannot do that. This would be a security issue if you are able to do it.

Normally not allowed. Assuming you provided the EXE to the customer, you
could always write it to be an ActiveX control that is installed on the
local machine.

It would be cool... but hackers would go wild. Can't you just imagine the
havoc that would cause if it were allowed?

You could work around this in another way. You could write a seperate
client app that accesses your web site, determines what you need from the
site, and opens a local app. That would work. The client app would have to
be installed on the client machine, of course, and the user would start it
instead of their browser, so the user will have given you permission to
start an app locally.
