Running exe files from java applications

Hello All,
Is it possible to run executable files from java applications?
I need to run an exe file on the client from the server machine, the exe could reside on either the server or any other machine on the LAN. Is it possible to specify the path of where the exe resides, and run it on a client machine?

HI,
I tried to launch a MS Word application using runtime.exec but it gives me some problem
The foll. code to launch a txt file using notepad works.
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"notepad.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.txt"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
However, oif I try to launch a MS Word application, it asks for the entire path of WINWORD.exe, (unlike just specifying notepad.exe as the first argument in String[] callAndArgs) and this can vary from one machine to another.. how do I get around this?
The foll. code snippet works but the complete path of where WINWORD.exe might be installed on any machine, is not fixed:-(
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
String[] callAndArgs = {"C:\\Program Files\\Office\\Office10\\WINWORD.exe","C:\\coo7\\wizard.doc"};
Process child = rt.exec(callAndArgs);
Any idea/suggestions pls..

Hi Oakam
This is very simple. Just go through the given code below
in place of FILEANDPATHNAME just give the exe's path and name
Note :- adding ".exe " is not necessary
public class exep
public static void main(String args[])
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
Process p = null;
try{
p = r.exec("FILEANDPATHNAME");
catch(Exception e)
Give ur feedback
Thanx

Running .EXE file from Java

Do you know, how run an .exe file, for example Internet Explorer or other program, from Java application?
It's very important for me.

Too run external program and pass string arguments see class java doc
of java.lang.Runtime method exec . You see online or download or
rename src.jar to s.zip EXTRACT and see
exec
public Process exec(String[] cmdarray,
String[] envp)
throws IOException
Executes the specified command and arguments in a separate process with the
specified environment.
This is a convenience method. An invocation of the form exec(cmdarray, envp)
behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation exec(cmdarray, envp,
null).
Parameters:
cmdarray - array containing the command to call and its arguments.
envp - array of strings, each element of which has environment variable
settings in the format name=value, or null if the subprocess should inherit
the environment of the current process.
Returns:
A new Process object for managing the subprocess
Throws:
SecurityException - If a security manager exists and its checkExec method
doesn't allow creation of the subprocess
IOException - If an I/O error occurs
NullPointerException - If cmdarray is null, or one of the elements of
cmdarray is null, or one of the elements of envp is null
IndexOutOfBoundsException - If cmdarray is an empty array (has length 0)
See Also:
ProcessBuilder
getRuntime
public static Runtime getRuntime()
Returns the runtime object associated with the current Java application.
Most of the methods of class Runtime are instance methods and must be
invoked with respect to the current runtime object.
Returns:
the Runtime object associated with the current Java application.

How to run .EXE files from Linux Portal page?

We have an IIS web server that runs a Photoshow_player.exe slide show program. I'm not sure if this can run from Linux Portal, but we are trying.
The link in an IIS web page looks like this:
<a> href="file:///\\mulsrv22\share\PCS\PhotoshowPlayer.exe" title="clean slate">clean slate</a>
Portal is installed and running from two Linux servers. If I create a link using the above syntax, I get "can not display page" browser errors.
I copied the entire PCS directory from the Windoz box to a Portal web_dav folder, but running the .EXE link from that Portal page gives errors indicating that the /PDS/data/.XML and /PCS/data/.jpg files can not be found.
Any ideas on how I can run this slide show from Linux Portal?
Thanks.
--Don

if you just need to run a slideshow in you portal, why don't you use a javascript slide show ?
Just "googleize" and you'll find tons of javascripts taht can do that.
for example : http://www.barelyfitz.com/projects/slideshow/

Unable to run exe files from a cd image

Hi,
Im new to using Adobe Captivate and I have created a new CD
navigator for my companys products.
Im trying to launch exe or pdf files from the CD image, if i
have a path to the required file with a directory listed i.e
D:\GTX\Readme.pdf then the pdf will appear, however if the CD/DVD
dirve is not "D" then the file will not be found and will not
launch, how can I create a path to a file on the CD so it will run
when clicked using a generic location as not all CD/DVD drives have
the lable "D"?
Any help would be greatful..
Many thanks
Gordon Lewis

Hi Gordon and welcome to the forums!
Captivate is pretty wonky when linking to other files. It
really doesn't seem to like it when you link to files in a
different directory structure than will be found in the "published"
location.
A suggestion would be to replicate your CD directory
structure in the working directory you're using to create your
Captivate project, then creating the links to those files so that
the relative path is the same in both places.
In other words, if your CD looks like this:
CaptivateFile.exe
PDFs\file1.pdf
PDFs\file2.pdf
make your working directory look like this:
CaptivateFile.cp
PDFs\file1.pdf
PDFs\file2.pdf
Hopefully, keeping the relative links the same will make
Captivate happy. Otherwise, you may be forced to put everything in
one flat directory structure.

Problem in Running EXE file from Java

Hello Friends,
I am calling an EXE program from my JSP page using Runtime.exec() method. The exe file simply reads a file and writes the content into another file (like copying a file). Now if I am providing fully qualified path to both source and destination files, then it runs absolutely fine. However, if i don't mention file path (only fine name is there), it creates output file in System32 folder and the resultant file doesn't contain any data.
I am providing the source for the EXE file.
==============
Source 1 (with fully qualified path name)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void write_temp_file1(char *);
void main()
char * myTempPath=NULL;
myTempPath=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
strcpy(myTempPath,"D:\\temp\\tempFile.txt");
write_temp_file1(myTempPath);
myTempPath=NULL;
void write_temp_file1(char * fileName)
// first read the file and write another file with same content
char * line1=NULL;
char * line2=NULL;
char * line3=NULL;
line1=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line2=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line3=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
ifstream inf;
inf.open(fileName,ios::nocreate);
inf>>line1;
inf>>line2;
inf>>line3;
inf.close();
ofstream outf;
strcat(fileName, "1");
outf.open(fileName);
outf<<line1<<endl;
outf<<line2<<endl;
outf<<line3<<endl;
outf.close ();
================================
Scenario 2 (with file name only)
#include <stdio.h>
#include <fstream.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void write_temp_file1(char *);
void main()
char * myTempPath=NULL;
myTempPath=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
strcpy(myTempPath,"my_temp_from_exe.txt");
write_temp_file1(myTempPath);
myTempPath=NULL;
void write_temp_file1(char * fileName)
// first read the file and write another file with same content
char * line1=NULL;
char * line2=NULL;
char * line3=NULL;
line1=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line2=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
line3=(char *)calloc(100,sizeof(char));
ifstream inf;
inf.open(fileName,ios::nocreate);

ofstream outf;
strcat(fileName, "1");
outf.open(fileName);
outf<<line1<<endl;
outf<<line2<<endl;
outf<<line3<<endl;
outf.close ();
==========================
Can anyone figure out what could be the problem ? I think there is a problem with Library Path or sort of something like that.
Please help me.

providing source code for the EXE program doesn't tell your problem.
You have to be more specific. What is your problem?

Running exe file

Hello,
Is there any way that i can run exe file from wd application ?
I will appreciate any answer or hint.
thanks in advance,
Ofer.

Hi Ofer ,
i think , u have to manually run the application in the client side after downloading from the server itself..
u have to kept it in server , and allow the client application to download it to client side and then execute..
otherwise , u have to programaically do these steps ,, copying the exe from server to a tem location in client and execute this in client side...
we can access files which are residing in server in one mor way .. thats with WebDav ... u have to set up this in the Enterprise portal if u have ..
if u have a IIS server in the same server machine or another machine , u can put these there and using WebDav u can access...
refer this for setting webdav in Windows..

How to run .exe files with Virtual PC for Mac

Hey Guys, I'm new around here and with mac technology as well. Anyway, I have an iMac OS X 10.5.1 Leopard and I've recently purchased the Virtual PC for Mac 7.0.2 software. So I'd like to know how to use this program properly, because I need to run some executable files in my computer. It is confusing for me because I don't know how to get started, and I only get to the part when it says "OS not found, Install an OS on this hard drive".
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that. So I'd really appreciate if one of you guys could tell me, step by step, what to do to use Virtual PC properly, and finally learn how to run .exe files on mac.
Thanks in advance!
Have a nice day!

Always nice to see new faces
Honestly I've no idea of what an OS is or where do I get that.
This brings up the second part of your problem. The first part is setting up either a proper Virtual Machine program like Parallels or VMfusion, or setting up a Boot Camp partition on your drive.
http://www.parallels.com/
http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/
OS stands for Operating System. You are running Leopard 10.5.7 as an operating system on your Mac (MacOS X).
The second part of your problem - You will need a copy of Windows XP or Vista if you want to run Windows on your Mac.
There is at least one other solution for running Windows programs on a Mac. It's called "CrossOver" by a company named 'Codeweavers'. It's based on a project for "Wine" to be able to run PC programs on a Mac or Linux, without having to buy or install Windows. It works with a narrow subset of Windows programs so you would want to make sure the program you want to run is compatible with CrossOver before you buy it.
http://www.codeweavers.com/products/cxmac/
In addition to all the above information, you need to upgrade your Mac to the latest 10.5.7 from 10.5.1. "Software Update" is located under the black Apple icon in the Menu Bar at the top left corner of your monitor. After you are updated you will want to update your Profile here so that it shows the proper OS version.
With your level of experience with MacOS X and the Windows OS's you should probably get some help from a local Apple store. They have an appointment system and do offer many types of help and training, and they can offer assistance with choosing the proper programs for you to purchase for your machine.
You are also welcome to continue to ask questions here, of course. You will want to ask your questions with different issues that come up in different threads so that the answers stay focused on the title of the thread.
