Well, this is not much of a question for a Java expert to answer. Its more for an HTML expert to answer ;-) anyway, you cannot directly invoke an exe from an HTML if you're looking plainly at that.
One way could be -> the HTML contains an Applet tag -> the Applet has permissions and on init (), it starts a Runtime.exec () command which starts the exe -> he he, I'm being too imaginative, am I not ;-) ?

I think you cannot do in this case, and u can try using FTP application...

every browser will pop up when u will click on a file, and asks for users option to save or open it.....it's not a matter of java, it's a matter of HTML and the browser...
But he didn't ask about clicking and saving a file, did he? You mean to give a link to the setup.exe file and then ask the user to click on it to save/ open (run) it?
Do you need the code for a Java Applet that can do this?!

You can't really execute any programs directly. If you have any activeX attached to that, then only you are allowed to do that.
