Do they have CreateObject-Java also disabled? Otherwise you could execute using Java (java.lang.Runtime.exec).
But I don't think I quite understand what you want to do though. You want to run a presentation exe file on the hosted webserver? Who will see that if it's running on the webserver? Don't you want to run it at the client machine? Anyway, if CreateObject Java is enabled, you could execute stuff on the server. /Max On 9/28/07, James Holmes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Is the demo supposed to execute for someone viewing the website, or > execute on the server? > > On 9/28/07, Mike Kear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > A client has asked me to set up their demo file on their web site. > > It's a self-running demonstration of the order process with > > instructions on what to click and what goes in which fields of the > > forms etc. > > > > The trouble is, the file they've given me is as 12MB .exe file.
