Hello,
I am having a little problem.
How can I execute an application
Binary Executable (application/octet-stream) (exe,bin)
immediately after download it from the Internet through a Browser, without
saving it to disk?
The goal is to install automatically a software package, running first
the setup application. I know that this could be dangerous in security
terms. But this case, is a particular case, where I know what software
pack I will run.
I need this preferentially for Windows Environments.
If someone could help me, I'll appreciate.
Thanks in advance,
Francisco Pinto
