Does someone happen to know how to create a workaround to start an .exe from IWP on the local client (if existing ofcourse).

Thanks!

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.

This would be a great way to spread virusus: download a file then run it, without telling the user.

Could try open URL though it might tell the user someone is trying to open something.

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

... really, try open url.

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

Hmmm, nah, just tried it, doesn't work, makes sense i suppose...

Thanks anyway!

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.

Hallo Jbarnum,

Thanks for your reply.

Very interesting.

Unfortunately my Java knowledge is very poor...
