Issue With Opening .exe In Ie9

Has anyone come across this problem...On our intranet site we have a link (a button) that launches and .exe in a separate popup window. With ie it bypasses the open/save dialog box

Solution 1:

In our environment, we have a shared folder where the exes are, and we have registered a custom URL protocol (which we called start) on all our computers.

Then we just put some links on our web pages, such as start://whatever.exe, and when the user clicks that, it runs whatever.exe.

Solution 2:

@GSerg Thank you for your advise. That was an option on the table, however we did not want to have to do the registered protocol on each computer. What we ended up doing was creating a click once for the app. and then pointed to the myapp.applicaion and it seems to be working so far. Good ole ie9 and headaches!
