Execute a file through an applet

Hello everyone:

This is what I'm trying to accomplish: I need to make an "online" installer. that is, an installer that can be executed within a browser(IE). Now, someone hinted to create the installer, which I did, (setup.exe), then call it from within an applet or activex, but the activex thing I don't like, so...my question is: can I do that using an applet? any other ideas to create a webinstaller?

Thanks.

to make your applet able to execute a local stored file you must sign your applet to be a trusted one.Signing applet in tutorial page: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/signindex.htmlgood luck.Ahmad Elsafty

I have my applet signed. That's no problem. The file is not in the client computer, its on the server. so its a file on the server(setup.exe) that need to be executed in the client. How can I do this?thanks.
