Passing a parameter to a linked executable

[adnanbwp]

Hi,

I have a web page where I have linked to a proprietary executable, NetSetup.exe. Now the thing is I would like to pass it a parameter when some one clicks on this link. Is this even possible?

I have looked every where. There is a tool costing $249 which lets me pass parameters. But I am thinking there must be another way to do this.

Please guide,

Adnan

ASPexec is free:

or look into windows script host:

<%
dim wsh
set wsh = createobject(&quot;WScript.Shell&quot
response.write wsh.run(&quot;cmd /c C:\WINNT\system32\ping.exe &quot; & _
&quot;

> &quot; & server.mappath(&quot;pingresults.txt&quot)

set wsh = nothing
response.redirect &quot;pingresults.txt&quot;
%>

Ok,

I tried ASPExec. I have tried every thing in the documentation, but I can not make the application to show up. Therefore, I dont know if its even running. So that was a failure.

Secondly, I was trying WSH. But that failed too due to numerous errors that showed up. I checked out the link you provided, but thats an Archive and there is not much for information.

Any ideas?
