.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / August 2007Remote execution from web
I don't think it can be done but does anyone know if it is possible to run an application (.exe) on a client workstation from a web request? Certain workstations have an application which I would like to run from a hyperlink. If it can't be done then it isn't no big deal. Thanks.

Web browsers are designed specifically to prevent this type of activity... Your only option would be to write an ActiveX control or Java applet, but you would need to seriously ramp down your security, and you'd have next to no chance of getting this working over the public Internet...
