Hi Karthik,
try setting the response header like this.


response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=ReadMe.pdf");

if u set it to exe then i guess it would start executing it on a click.

Not sure since this is not tested.

Thanks & Regards
Veerendra Jote

Hi.,


I hava a problem.


I have a link in my page. On click of it, it is showing a dialog that asks
for Save As or Run. I need to avoid that and want the downloadable to
install directly on click of the link.


Thanks.


Karthik.S
