 <script type="text/javascript">  
                            function runMyCommand(){
                                var wshshell = new ActiveXObject("shell.application");
                                wshshell.ShellExecute("cmd.exe", 'java -jar "C:\\Program Files\\MyServer\\bin\\mporter.jar" "C:\\license.file" ', "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32", "open", 1);
                                wshshell=null;

                            }
 </script>

  function runMyCommandASP() {
                                $.ajax({
                                    type: "POST",
                                    url: "managemporter_launch.asp/AnalyzeRequest",
                                    data: "{}",

                                    success: function (msg) {
                                        Alert("you got it");
                                    }

  • If you're using asp then the VBScript is run on the server, so it doesn't matter which browser you're using. Are you just trying to embed a java applet, in which case you should find plenty of guides if you just use Google – John Nov 25 '14 at 13:21
  • Yes i am using ASP also fine that VBScript run on server but if i am using Set wshshell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshshell.run "cmd.exe /c notepad ajay" it didn't work – Singh Nov 25 '14 at 13:27
  • So your working example is using client side vbs. Are you able to post your code, then someone who knows javascript might be able to suggest a cross browser alternative? – John Nov 25 '14 at 13:43
  • I don't think you'll be able to do that in anything other than IE. Whether you use js or vbs you'll need IE if you want to use an Active X object. `new ActiveXObject` in js is the same as `CreateObject` in vbs – John Nov 25 '14 at 19:49
  • Hi John, i am not looking to use ActiveXobject but looking for a way using anything but fulfill my task... and run over any browser any OS, ActiveXObject is not necessity. – Singh Nov 26 '14 at 05:47

  • could u plz help i want to run a .vbs file from .asp page where i recieve ajax request from runMyCommandASP() using Set wshshell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell") wshshell.run "cmd.exe /c cscript ""C:\inetpub\wwwroot\jarrS\res\include\createmport.vbs""", 1, true but this didn't work Is there any way i can run my this createmport.vbs or any other application at my .asp page – Singh Nov 26 '14 at 14:03

For the reasons in this question in I don't think you can do this with client side code. As the link in my comment above explains, allowing webpages to control a user's machine would be a massive security hole which is why browsers prevent this.

I can't gurarantee this will work, but you may have a chance if you change this file into an .asp page. ASP is server side code so it bypasses limitations on what browsers are able to do directly

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\jarrS\res\include\createmport.vbs

This path implies that you have a local version on IIS on your machine. Try renaming your file with it an .asp extension and surround all the code in the page with <% %> You would then be able to execute script via its local url ie http://localhost/yoursitepath/createimport.asp. As its talking to a .jar file then you'll need to give your local website's IUSR account execute permission on the .jar

You could then execute the script with a simple html link or, presumably, with an ajax call - I'm no expert with ajax. The bottom line is that when you call the file it needs to be through a url so that the server executes it.
