Dear,<br />
<br />
This is not a good pratice. ActiveX will only work for Internet Explorer, and who is still using this browser ?<br />
<br />
Also run ActiveX on website that is not trusted is really a bad idea. Let the user download your exe and that's it.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am creating a website which provides the facility to the users to edit their documents without downloading them, so for that i created a exe which do this work. <br />
<br />
My requirement is how can I open my already installed program or exe on client machine from browser. (Like apple site runs itune on client machine)<br />
<br />
I tried with ActiveX in javascript but that is also not working. It is giving error that object can't be created. <br />
<br />
I also tried with using the batch file but in i.e. it gives the option to run directly but in firefox and chrome it is first downloading and then user can start it. <br />
<br />
I had heared about protocol handler, but don't know anything about this. <br />
<br />
Can anyone help me out with some code or some helpful link.<br />
<br />
Thanks.

How to start an exe or a program on client machine from browser.

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.
