Automatically executing program

[randomboy 0]

Is there a way to automatically excecute a program once it has been downloaded?

Hi,

you can write a script, thats downloads a file and checks whether it is complete and then starts it.

Would it be in the help file?

HI,

yeah the needed funcs are all in the helpfile. What URL, what file to download?

PS: Have a look at InetGet first.

Basically I'm trying to create a program with Auto It v3 that when users connect to my site, they can download the program and it will run automatically once the download has finished.

The download and executing is easy

$place="Your place.exe"
Inetget("THe url",$place,0,1)
run($place)

THis should work by inetget stops when the downloading is complete and then

run it

Hi,

I don't that this is possible. But you can script a downloader which downloads your script and executes it as mentioned above.

You mean like Dialer software or Spyware?

No.

No.

Ah, O.K. then you mean like a virus, or why do you want to start the program without intervention of the user??

So the user doesn't have to.

Why autorun? How hard is it for a user to click open file in Firefox / IE or any browser!

Explain this more. This is very vague...

So the user doesn't have to.

Personally, I'd rather have to go through all the trouble of clicking 'Run' or 'Save' versus having some unknown program auto-running and doing who-knows-what

Sorry, even if your intentions are good, someone with bad intentions could take knowledge like this and create a really destructive program

But i don't think it's possible anyway, unless you have another script that the user started that allows the other program to start which is just counter-productive

How can you include something in a file that makes it run, when the file needs to run before the part that causes it to run runs

does that make sense?

does that make sense?

To me it makes sense

Good, because it was confusing me

there used to be some good old ActiveX EXPLOITS that did this back in the day, but most of those are dead. Plus, they were EXPLOITS!

You cannot do this legitimately.

[Xenobiologist 33]

I think this thread is dead. It isn't possible and even when it was, nobody would appreciate doing it.

As I mentioned above, if the users have to download often new releases, then build an updater Script, which can download the new file and run it automatically.

So long,

Can a Mod close this thread? This is getting into areas we should stay away from.
