如何从浏览器运行桌面应用程序？

Question

I need to launch program from browser(like battlefield when you see dialog with confirmation of starting app). Should I make an extension or there is native way to do it with javascript?

Answer 1

If the basic idea is to launch a desktop app from the web browser, the first step is to create a new Registry in Windows and path a URL Custom protocol. And if is you need it you can also send parameters by changing console arguments in your app and append the parameters in your html file.

Answer 2

check out: Running .exe from Javascript

There are cross-browser compatibility issues with executing a .EXE on a clients machine. i would suggest you look into alternative languages such as Java or even Flash. But it can be done in Javascript.

-normally i wouldn't answer a question like this, but i saw someone say it's not possible. ANYTHING is possible.
