KingOfHeart Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I'm making a little tutorial for users to download. This tutorial is for a game making program which comes with it. So when the user clicks on the link for the program, I need the program to open up. Does javascript work on all basic computers? Because my basic menu uses a bit of javascript. The first thing I will teach you is how to make a new quest. Make sure your desktop is set to 16-bit color otherwise it will not function properly. Click on your <a href = 'Quest Designer' target="_blank">Quest Designer folder</a> and open the <a href = 'Quest Designer/Quest Designer.exe'>Quest Designer.exe</a> program. Right now it's tells it to save for Quest Designer.exe, but I just want it to run.

trq Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 Does javascript work on all basic computers? If it is enabled. Right now it's tells it to save for Quest Designer.exe, but I just want it to run. Your not going to be able to execute an exe file on a client.

KingOfHeart Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Ok, so should I link to a bat file instead? I might have a bat file that opens up a program, but off hand would anyone know the script?

trq Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 A bat file is just another executable. Where exactly are you trying to execute these? On the server or the client?

KingOfHeart Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 On the computer itself. Remember, everything is downloaded to their computer. So the .exe file and the tutorial is already on their computer. I just wanted to make it really easy to find by opening it just by clicking.

trq Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Again, you cannot execute anything on the clients computer. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/202864-open-local-file/#findComment-1063370 Share on other sites More sharing options...
