    Launching .EXE

    Few questions:

    1.Can you launch an .exe from a hyperlink?
    2.How do I enter the file path
    3.Are there steps other than making the form fully trusted and installing the appropriate certificates that I need to make to allow the form to launch an .exe

    Hi,
    Where is the exe located is it on the local drive or in the web?
    If it is local drive then you need to use some code to run the exe. You can have a button in the UI which behaves like a link.

    If it is located in some web location try giving the full "http://.../abc.exe" URL it might work with out giving fulltrust.

    Note that this will require the template to be security level Full Trust (installed or code signed) since it theoretically could call fdisk.exe and mess up a user's machine. :)
