Run executable File from Coldfusion program

[Guest]

Anyone know how to code the statement to call excutable program to run executable program via internet explorer

[Guest]

you need to use <cfexcute> tag to run executable file.

Good Luck

cfexecute tag will not work properly if i am using player.exe file. it has fix coded path. it is trying to look at the pc instead of server

Hi,

Use the <object> tag.. Below is one good example,

<OBJECT

ID="mediaPlayer"

CLASSID="CLSID:22d6f312-b0f6-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95"

CODEBASE=" http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/
controls/mplayer/en/nsmp2inf.cab#Version=5,1,52,701"

STANDBY="Loading Microsoft Windows Media Player components..."

TYPE="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="fileName"
VALUE="#your_media_file_name.extension#">

<PARAM NAME="animationatStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="transparentatStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="autoStart" VALUE="true">

<PARAM NAME="showControls" VALUE="true">

</OBJECT>

since you are going to use media with a fix path then you need to use <object> tag.
