Running programs from a HTA (without Windows Scripting Host)

Johann Burkar #1 / 6	Running programs from a HTA (without Windows Scripting Host) Hello, I'd like to run a program from a HTA. Is there a way without WScript.Shell.Run? (Luckily) not everyone has the scripting host installed. Thanks. Johann -- Du versuchst die kriminellen Handlungen zu verniedlichen und mich pers?nlich zu beleidigen?

Matt #2 / 6	Running programs from a HTA (without Windows Scripting Host) Well, without the scripting host, the only other option I can think of is a custom COM object that does what Windows Scripting Host already does.

Dave Methvi #3 / 6	Running programs from a HTA (without Windows Scripting Host) Yeah, that's the ticket! Write it as a MFC app and install it over the Internet using Installshield! ;-) I can't think of any way around it either. Something simple like window.open("some.exe", "new") will still bring up the download dialog in the local zone. Removing WSH as an antivirus measure is no substitute for common sense.

Hm, Shell.Application also is in Win98, even in my old version with IE 4. > var oShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application"); > oShell.ShellExecute("notepad.exe"); Thanks. I was playing around with shl.Open(), but I seem to have overlooked ShellExecute. Johann -- Du versuchst die kriminellen Handlungen zu verniedlichen und mich pers?nlich zu beleidigen?

MVP #6 / 6	Running programs from a HTA (without Windows Scripting Host) And on boxes with WMI installed there's Win32_Process.Create as well... Of course, if you start assuming WinXP or Win2000 or WinME or that WMI installed or..., then in all likelihood WSH is available as well and for most purposes simpler to use. -- Michael Harris Microsoft.MVP.Scripting -- Please do not email questions - post them to the newsgroup instead. -- Quote: > > Before you start writing a custom COM object, if your platform is > > limited to Win2000/WinMe (and I presume this would work on WinXP > > also), you can use IShellDispatch2::ShellExecute. > Hm, Shell.Application also is in Win98, even in my old version with IE 4. > > var oShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application"); > > oShell.ShellExecute("notepad.exe"); > Thanks.
