Posted By admin On 15.12.20I want to open an exe file through a link in an HTML file.
Is it possible? If so, how?

I've downloaded the file - had to download into Downloads & then copied it into System32. Ran the commands and when I restarted, the MBAM/Norton Utilities Help pages appeared. But they have done in the past and after opening up the Help pages once, at the second time of trying I go the Microsoft Help HTML Executable has stopped working message. What is hh.exe?

It runs when a 'compiled help file' (type.chm) is opened by clicking on the file or a linked menu item. That does indeed give the Open/Save/Cancel dialog, however, apps more complex than notepad probably won't work as the file is 'downloaded' to the temporary folder and launched there. It does not launch the original file. – Henning May 12 '10 at 20:53.
Sep 01, 2015 (4) According to my simple test, you can read an old help file (.hlp) even on Windows 10 (x64), by this replacement. Note: If an old help file (.hlp) cannot be read on Windows XP, 2000, ME, or, 98/98SE, this kind of old help file (.hlp) cannot be read on Windows 10, even if applying the replacement of 'winhlp32.exe' to Windows 10.

You can not start/execute an .exe file that resides locally on the users machine or through a site. The user must first download the exe file and then run the executable.
RDLRDLDue security reasons it's not possible, and probably it's better it stays that way.
The following code works, but only on the machine which the program exists on:

You could write an Active-X object that runs in internet explorer only.
It's not an exe but it's the closest you'll get to running an exe.
I created an application for this exact purpose. It is called WebRun and you can download it from www.webrunapps.com. After installation you can create a webrun link to launch any executable / file / command on your Windows PC.Here is an example to run notepad:
Hope that helps.
On a local computer you can do it with ease,So you have just to Create your own custom protocol, like the one used by Skype or iTunes to launch their native windows applications : - Custom protocol has to be created on Windows Registry by adding a entry as the one here :
the word in Blod ACCapp is the name of the custom protocol that would be used on your html href link as follow
this link wont run unless you add the registry keys.nb: don't ever make limits to your imagination just search an you'l find. hope it helpsAt work I'm a PC (bummer - I'm a MAC fanatic) and Firefox. The code that worked for me in Firefox, and the link works internally ONLY, was <a href = 'file:///c:/Myfolder/Myprogram.exe'>.
AND it works ONLY if you right click on the link and select Open Link in Ext.App. Just clicking on the link itself prompts the user to save the .exe file and then run it.
I could not get it 2 work in IE or Firefox with just <a href = 'c:/Myfolder/Myprogram.exe'>
Why not use CGI for this purpose, CGI actually runs the executable through browser on server.
Simply provide access to the folder, but do not include the .exe in the href. The user will then just click on the .exe file to open it.Open here where 'targetFolder' holds your .exe file.
