I need the user to allow an exe to run from our intranet.

I am trying to have the users within our intranet run an exe from our
website. The following is a simplified example of the html that I am using
to provide my users with the exe.









When the user clicks on the link the code automatically executes. It will
then fail because the code attempts to create a directory on the user’s
computer. I am compiling the code in C# .net 2005. How can I prompt the
user to allow my exe to access their local file system? I don’t want the
users to have to go in and change their IE security settings in order to run
this exe.

RE: I need the user to allow an exe to run from our intranet.

its not ie (it's setting just controls whether the app runs). your users need
to modify their .net settings (caspol.exe). your best bet is to write an
installer program in c/c++ that does this, and in turn downloads the .net
program.
