Question

Can we get the absolute path of the specified exe file in javascript .

(ie) If i give a file name like quicme and i want to get the path of the file name as

c://programfiles/quicme.exe

Answer 1

No, you can't. You'd need access to the PATH environment variable for that, and JavaScript in browsers does not have access to that.

In JScript on the Windows Script Host, you might be able to, though. (If that's the case, please add the appropriate tags to your question.)

Answer 2

It's not a wanted feature to be able to access the user environment variables within a client-side script, especially if it's from a distant server. There are serious security issues that could be exposed if it was allowed. Therefore, you cannot achieve that online with JavaScript.

However, if you want it offline, a solution might be to do it with WScript, which would lead you to something like that to read the PATH environment variable:

Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set colSystemEnvVars = objShell.Environment("System")
Set colUserEnvVars = objShell.Environment("User")
Wscript.Echo "Computer-specific PATH Environment Variable"
Wscript.Echo colSystemEnvVars("PATH")
Wscript.Echo "User-specific PATH Environment Variable"
Wscript.Echo colUserEnvVars("PATH")
