executing a .exe on the client?

Hi,

I'm builing a web application using web services. I want to execute a .exe on the client. How can this be done

Right now I'm doing it with ActiveX, but I need the application to work when AxtiveX is disabled in IE.

The application will be running on a LAN, not Internet.

Thanks!

Hi,

I don't think it is possible to do this since this would give a major security leak in IE. The best thing you can do is to make sure that your site is in the Trusted Sites Zone. This can be set up at the domain level so it works for everyone. In the Trusted Sites Zone, ActiveX applets are allowed by default.

NOTE: All your clients need to have .NET installed in order to make the applet work.

Greetz,
