Actually, while investigating this problem, I
discovered something that I didn't know existed in Windows. HTML
Applications (.HTA). This system lets you write applications in
HTML/vbscript/_javascript_ that run just like an executable. Just
rename the .html extension to .hta and double-click. The click of a link
still needed some vbscript to prevent the Open/Save dialog, but it's working
very well now.
This could be very handy. I can see it
being used instead of batch files for doing simple tasks like multiple
silent installations etc, but with a much nicer interface, and the option to ask
for user input etc. Frontpage becomes the IDE :-)
Cheers,
Ross.

You could do it with the HTML display Control from that guy "PBear"
and ( www.pbear.com) This lets you
trap the clicking of linsk etc. It would need to be an application, but it would work.

Subject: [DUG] [Off-Topic] Run EXE's from local HTML
page
I've written an HTML web page to burn onto
CD's along with my software, and will AutoRun when inserted. The
page has some links to a few executables on the CD. But for the
life of me I can't get the executables to run when they are clicked.
This works fine from a website with the usual security warnings, but what is
going on here? Any ideas? A better method?
Regards,
Ross.
