Do I need MIME adjusted?

I need my IIS server to allow a program to be launched when the user clicks
on a link. It is my understanding that I need to adjust MIME in order to
make this happen. Could someone point me in the right direction to get this
done?

The application I need launched is proprietary.

Re: Do I need MIME adjusted?

Hi

When you say "launch an application" do you mean run the application on the
server itself, or have an application run on the client?

If the former, then you need to allow "Execute" permissions for folder
containing the application (in the IIS MMC) and also configure that CGI to
be permitted to run

If the latter, then you should not need to adjust the MIME type - there
shoud be one defined for .exe files already.

Cheers
