HTML - How to allow your site to download/run a file.

[madlm]

Hi...I am putting up a site that will allow a user to download an .exe that installs a product on their PC. [Not a virus :)] It's part of a service web site. I am clueless on what code to use to do this. I need to create an Icon or link that will download and either directly run or prompt them to accept an install [which I do not know how to do either :)]...I will upload my file [.exe] to a directory at the root level of my domain but from there ??>...any asap help would be greatly appreciated !!!! Example would be great ! Also the file that will be downloaded will be on a different server in a different domain...no biggie but need to put that in.

warmest regards,

Michael

Hi Michael

Use:

<a href="http://www.blah.com/myexefile.exe">My exe file</a>

The browser should take over and do the rest.
