Run an exe online

Hi there.
I'm currently working on a Games website, where most of the games are in EXE format.

Does anyone know of a way to make it so the customer can click a link to start the game instantly without haveing to [download-save-open] the file...

Or does anyone know of a way to make it so the exe can be opened within the webpage?

You could try to find a way to convert it to Flash :-)

You could find a way to offer a VPN-type access to the site server, if it is Windows and can run the EXE file-type, then allow them to play it on the server ... but I wouldn't recommend it, if it can be done.

So option A above, or none at all is my best guess.

Good luck

Google is the answer to all of your questions -- the trick is knowing what question to ask in your specific predicament.

No, it can't be done. Isn't the reason apparent here? You go to a site, click on a link which actually hooks to a virus, the browser runs the executable without asking for a confirmation...

Go with Langsors' advice; Flash is by far the most used/safe format for distributing games on the web.

I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.
