Hello everyone,

 

I have spend hours upon hours going into the early hours of the morning to try and get this working and to no avail!

 

So,

 

I have a HTA program which a user can enter their message into the text box and then press submit. After pressing submit a HTA file is generated with a css file intertwined with it to make it look good. This works fine, it goes to a file share and sits there. There is then a server side script which after the HTA file first appears it is given 5 mins to stay in the file share and is then deleted from the share.

 

The only problem I am having is getting the HTA file to open on client computers. Tried everything.

 

Thanks

HTA is a tech from Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer is retired:https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/internet-explorer.aspx

 

Therefore HTA is dead too.

There maybe some legacy bits and bobs that may keep it working in edge cases (no pun intended), but efforts would be better spent elsewhere.

 

That said, this might help: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71890698/hta-files-and-microsoft-edge
