从 React.js 应用程序启动一个 .exe

Question

Is there a possible way to start an .exe application on shared location from react.js app.

The approach should be working on internet explorer also.

Answer 1

Yes, this can be done with a custom URL handler. For example :

1. JavaScript code can navigate to a URL like (myexehandler://parameters)
2. Exe can be registered as handler for "myexehandler://"

Browser will delegate handling of custom URLs to OS and OS will invoke the exe.
