How JS launch external application (*.exe)?
- Thread starter ahfatt78
- Start date
fscommand() is specific to flash only... it's not a javascript command - the only way to do this is with WSHscript that microsoft uses, this stands for windows shell script (WSH) so look that up - when u embed WSHscript or vbscript inside a webpage it will be run as an ActiveX control I'm sure and will require user authentication for the control to run, so users will be prompted by that annoying ActiveX dialog explaining to users the dangers of running your script - Once they grant permission you should be able to run your script that opens an .exe.
