----------------------------------- s3arkay Mon Jun 19, 2006 3:41 pm Putting on a website / .exe ----------------------------------- I was wondering if yoiu were to put on a website and click a link to run the program would that be a .exe file? With saying that how do you make a turing file into a .exe??? All help is thankful. ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Mon Jun 19, 2006 5:04 pm ----------------------------------- The first part of your question is a bit confusing, I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, so it's hard to give a good reply. As for the second part, there is a tutorial on the subject over [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=2465]here. ----------------------------------- s3arkay Mon Jun 19, 2006 5:51 pm ----------------------------------- "]The first part of your question is a bit confusing, I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about, so it's hard to give a good reply. As for the second part, there is a tutorial on the subject over ok thats good thanks.. Lets say if I were to make a website. Could I just put a link to this .exe file and other people run it from their own computers? ----------------------------------- Martin Mon Jun 19, 2006 7:32 pm ----------------------------------- Well, they'd have to download it first, but you could do that (if you don't want to give away your source code). However, you wouldn't be able to make it run from their web browser. ----------------------------------- s3arkay Mon Jun 19, 2006 9:03 pm ----------------------------------- Well, they'd have to download it first, but you could do that (if you don't want to give away your source code).

K, I got what you guys mean now... thanks for all the help ----------------------------------- Dan Mon Jun 19, 2006 10:58 pm ----------------------------------- Also it whould only work if they where using a window based OS, mac, linux, unix are not going to run a exe unless some speshal emulation software is installed. Idealy i whould put both the sorce and exe files if you whont the most number of peoleop to use it, that is if you are ok with poeleop seeing your code. (yes there is a mac verson of turing.) ----------------------------------- aldreneo Tue Jun 20, 2006 9:55 am ----------------------------------- You know what somebody asked me once? Can you do this I just said "No, You cant" In my mind I was laughing like crazy ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jun 20, 2006 4:56 pm ----------------------------------- Hey you never know what IE will alow. If they let you get away with active x compents might as well run exes in IE. ----------------------------------- aldreneo Wed Jun 21, 2006 12:36 pm ----------------------------------- Ya, but if your smart you would not allow active X in the first place ----------------------------------- Wed Jun 21, 2006 5:03 pm ----------------------------------- Leo Laporte always talks about Active X scripting and how not to use IE, but use Firefox or IE7 Beta. But why would Microsoft put Active X in IE? It probably makes the coding much simpler, or it must have some use. ----------------------------------- Dan Wed Jun 21, 2006 5:16 pm ----------------------------------- Leo Laporte always talks about Active X scripting and how not to use IE, but use Firefox or IE7 Beta.

Dose not make anything more simple just more complicated and dangures.

Now obviously it'd be safer to just download the updates and run them our self, but Windows Update exists for most computer users that either wouldn't know how to update or wouldn't bother to do so. ----------------------------------- Dan Tue Jul 04, 2006 8:56 am ----------------------------------- Yep it dose, and i wish it did not. Forces peoleop to use IE and casues secuirty holes. I realy do not think some one whould have a horibale time downloading and runing somthing. And if they made it auto download and install them to start with rather then adding that in, in SP2 it whould not be an issue. ----------------------------------- Andy Sun Jul 09, 2006 12:37 pm ----------------------------------- try this right click desktop, create shortcut, link it to C:\windows\system32\calc.exe name it www.microsoft.com go to internet explorer and type www.microsoft.com I love IE.
