Hello

Is it possible to download and execute an .msi file from within an html page like this?

<OBJECT ID=&quot;RunClient&quot; Type=&quot;application/x-oleobject&quot; ClassID=&quot;CLSID:913B101A-EDD1-11D5-AD4A-0060B0FB4900&quot; CodeBase=&quot;/Root/TestFile.msi&quot; Height=100% Width=100%></OBJECT>

I’ve already done it successfully using .cab files, but need to know how to do it using .msi files.

When used in the above way, I got the security warning dialog (“Do you want to install and run …”), but after confirmation, nothing happened - the file didn't download and didn't run.

Thanks,

Ron
