Hi Adam,

I think this is one of the rare opportunities to actually say "definitely
not possible".

If you could do this it would be a major security flaw as the .exe could,
say, wipe out a hard drive instead of doing something beneficial.

If somehow you find any way to do this, please notify Adobe as we are all in
grave trouble.

Glad to be able to say that !

Is there any way to launch an exe with any version of Flash?  I basically
want to download my installer using Flash and then automatically launch
it,
basically bypassing the browser's download and launch cycle to make things
easier on the user.

I know very little actionscript/mxml, but I'm just curious if something
like
this is possible.  Would I have to set something in a policy file
somewhere?

Thanks so much.
