problem statement: I want to develop an applet and want include in any webpage and when I run this webpage from any browser then it should download an exe file located on any server and after download the file locally in browser, exe should be automatically executed behind the scene.
how is this possible? Please help.

What you have described is not exactly trivial, and may not be possible from an applet. Break your problem up into smaller pieces- how do you download a file? How do you run a file? Start small, and don't combine the pieces until you have them working separately.

That's not how this works. We can help you with specific technical questions, but nobody is going to write the code for you.

I absolutely agree with this.

I told you exactly what to do. Figure out how to download a file in Java. Figure out how to run a .exe, and whether that's possible in an applet. Keep those steps separate until you have them both working perfectly by themselves.

You joined the forums just to post this worthless negativity? A huge part of programming is breaking problems up into smaller steps. When you get the smaller steps separated, and make an attempt at one of them, we can help. But before that, what can we do? That's going to be true everywhere.

If I see any more posts like this, I'm going to take moderator action.

If you wish to contribute then by all means do so. If you have a problem, then why not ask your question? If this particular question wasn't answered to your liking, why not try and encourage an answer that does, rather than acting like a Troll. This unproductive banter is going nowhere. Thread locked
