Browsers purposely do not allow you to execute code on the user's machine as that is a huge security risk. What you might be able to do is create a hyperlink to the file but even then some browsers will have it restricted because the hyperlink will be pointing locally.

I suggest you change your approach or stick with IE only.

Don't use the web to try and run desktop applications.
