They have a quite confusing customising flash gizmo that lets customers specify a lot of options and see what the finished product is goign to be like before the order is committed. the exe file in question is to demonstrate how to use this gizmo properly. (lets not go towards asking whether it might be better to redesign the gizmo instead so a demo isnt needed! Been there. Seen the movie. Didn't like it!!)
So the client proudly said "here Mike. Just put this demo.exe up on the site for us and the indent section of the site's completed.". Ok . "just" put it up on the site. Now I have to figure out the best way to get it working. I dont really want to run it on the client machine because it's 12MB. thats a long time to download before anything happens on the user's screen, but if that's the only practical way to do it, I'll have to do that. I didnt know you could run exe files using java even if they're blocked in other ways. Worth checking out. Thanks Max.
