Balder Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Does someone happen to know how to create a workaround to start an .exe from IWP on the local client (if existing ofcourse). Thanks!
fmlawl Posted July 16, 2007 Posted July 16, 2007 Unfortunately this is not possible, you would think that it would be, especially if you used Internet Explorer, as it is integrated with Windows. To be honest, I see this as an extra security precaution, to protect users from running an executable by accident when they shouldn't be.
Vaughan Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 This would be a great way to spread virusus: download a file then run it, without telling the user.
Genx Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Could try open URL though it might tell the user someone is trying to open something.
Balder Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Hallo Vaughan, Sorry for not being clear enough. I don't want to start an .exe on a local machine from remote, but the user should be able to start an exe on his machine via IE using a FM solution shared via IWP. (by just clicking on a button in IE / IWP) I need to control 4 relais connected to an USB-port... (I know, it's not a problem using FM...) Just saving licences... : (dutch habit...) Thanks for any comments... Best regards, Erik Edited July 17, 2007 by Guest
Balder Posted July 17, 2007 Author Posted July 17, 2007 (edited) Hallo genx, I tried but probably got the syntax wrong... Do you have an example? as a test i entered file://c:/beep.exe From FM ok but not via IWP Best regards, Erik Edited July 17, 2007 by Guest
Genx Posted July 17, 2007 Posted July 17, 2007 Hmmm, nah, just tried it, doesn't work, makes sense i suppose...
Jesse Barnum Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I have a feeling that a signed Java applet running in a WebViewer would be able to do it. Let me know back channel if you want help writing this.
Balder Posted July 24, 2007 Author Posted July 24, 2007 Hallo Jbarnum, Thanks for your reply. Very interesting. Unfortunately my Java knowledge is very poor...
