Autoexecute?

[kettch]

I have created a web page that allows users to install certain applications (without user intervention enabled) by themselves. I need to make a hyperlink execute the install application with some command line switches after it. I can do this with a batch file, but that requires that the user click "run from current location" and i'd like to avoid that. the exact command i need run is:

\\server146\vphome\clt-inst\WIN32\SETUP.EXE /s /v"/qb+ /mnavwnt"

i can't seem to get this to work in html, it always throws up 404 errors. Can this be done? THANKS!!

A lot of apps in windoze accept parameter variables in a query string, eg.

myapp.exe?startup=yes&user=dean

But whether yours does, and what the variables would be called, I cannot tell you.

Might be worth a try. otherwise, batch file is not a bad way to get an app going. Dean Owen

i'm not sure if that would work. the app is the installer for norton antivirus CE. /s means silent, /v means pass the following to MSIEXEC.exe, and the stuff in quotes are all MSIEXEC params, so it is too complex to do it that way, and i'm not sure what the values would be to define as yes/no any way, i think i will just stick with the batch file anyway. Thanks.
