Opening .exe in a browser (I Will pay for this code!)
Hi,
When I try to open a .exe in a browser like IE or NS it displays a dialog box if I want to download it or not. What I would want is for the .exe file to open without displaying any dialog boxes, so the visitor never knows about this. If somebody makes this simple code for me I will pay.

Thnx

Normally the rationalisation for things like this is 'I need it for an intranet', 'My clients are too stupid to do things the way everyone else does'. They never think 'Geez, that would be a stupid security hole, anyone could install anything on my PC, I wouldn't like that'. Bah, I rank this up with the, 'I want to print something via a webpage but I don't want the user to have to authorise it, I want it to happen automatically'.

Second of all i think you are to angious to have such a code.

Opening an .exe in a browser would run the program on the users computer - pretty pointless if your trying to count the number of hits your site gets.
If you ignore the huge security risks then you are still left with the fact that .exe 's will only run on Windows machines and not linux/unix/mac - so it would also be an inaccurate way to measure page hits.
