Embedding a .exe into a webpage

[ginugopinath]

I am doing a project on social n/w website,one of the features being webcasting.Now for webcasting there is a need for an encoder s/w(say Real Producer Basic),I have this .exe downloaded.
Now I need to embedd this in a webpage using PHP.

Please do help me.
Note:
From <ULR removed>,I have got this Real Producer SDK and it consist of:
1.bin
2.convert
3.docs
4.include
5.samples

Would this be helpfull?

Sounds great....
ya,the encoder is used for converting it into a compressed digital format(.rm real media format).
What you have suggested would be ok for an already existing clip/video,but this .exe helps in configuring your webcam and microphone automatically,h ow would I do this with your suggestion?
Moreever this encoded format i.e real media is sent to the Helix Server.Its from this server,that an end user would request for the clip.

basically my php code should be able to call this .exe and display to the user...

You won't be able to execute the file on the client machine; you'd be better off using Flash to do this.

I think it is possible, not sure, but I think. I was looking on Google, and found this code snippet for javascript on a PHP page, with the use of flash too.

 function loadexe() { 
   w = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell"); 
   w.run('one.exe'); 
   return true; 
   } 

Although, the client's browser might block it, or pop a warning up, so you'll have to check the settings, also this code for your flash button.

on(release){
getURL("javascript:loadexe");
}

I'm not very experienced with JavaScript either, but can't you just call the loadexe() function on an html's button click event, rather than using flash. But try that and see if it works.

Isn't ActiveX IE only?
