I want to create a windows based application in to my project.

When any user will open my website, i will ask them to install for updates in to your personal computer. If he accepts then windows application will install in to his/her pc and if any updates will send to PC using Notification window.


Please suggest me how to do this in to my application. Its an urgent requirement.

Thanks in advance.

Thankfully, you can't do that automatically - all you can do is send the download file to his computer and it's up to him what he does - save, execute, or throw in the bin.

Think about it:
1) If you could do that, so could malicious sites. And we have enough problems with them as it is!
2) What if I browse to your site using an Android Tablet? iPad? Internet enabled fridge? None of them could execute your application...

To be honest, if I browsed to a site that even tried to do something like that, I'd blacklist it immediately.
