Call client pc application

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a (maybe stupid) question:

Is it possible to call an application of the client pc from portal? For example via a link or something. I want to call an exe like c:\programs\example\test.exe

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Manuel,

I did the same thing in our Portal,

into a html page:

create a tag script with a type

text/javascript

, into write these code;

 var ws = new Active X Object("WScript.Shell");

ligne_cmd = ""C:\My Documents\test1.txt" "";

ws.run (ligne_cmd);

self.focus();

self.close();

Hope this helps you,

Pls reward points if you find this helpful

Hi Pino,

Great! That was exactly what I meant. It works!

Now, I guess it's not possible to get it executed in portal framework?

Hi Manuel,

I put the html page in the KM, and I called it from a link.

So when the user click on the link the tool installed on the computer is launched directly.
