Question

Is it possible to run an EXE within a browser? I do not mean launch from browser only (which i know can be done using IE), but I wish to run the EXE from within the browser so it appears to the user as a web based application. Thanks.

Not exactly. there are alot of issues which that concept regarding UI, Security etc.. the closest i've come to see is using Google Native Client which uses a sandbox to run native code.
