How to run .exe file or .bat file based on button click event using Javascript

Just save this code as RunExe.hta and not RunExe.html and executes it by double click on it !

EDIT : REMARK about (HTA) (HTML Application)

HTML Application (HTA) is a Microsoft Windows program whose source code consists of HTML, Dynamic HTML, and one or more scripting languages supported by Internet Explorer, such as VBScript or JScript.

The HTML is used to generate the user interface, and the scripting language is used for the program logic.

A HTA executes without the constraints of the internet browser security model; in fact, it executes as a "fully trusted" application.

Is it possible to run an .exe or .bat file on 'onclick' in HTML

Here's what I did. I wanted a HTML page setup on our network so I wouldn't have to navigate to various folders to install or upgrade our apps. So what I did was setup a .bat file on our "shared" drive that everyone has access to, in that .bat file I had this code:

start /d "\\server\Software\" setup.exe

The HTML code was:

<input type="button" value="Launch Installer" onclick="window.open('file:///S:Test/Test.bat')" />

(make sure your slashes are correct, I had them the other way and it didn't work)

I preferred to launch the EXE directly but that wasn't possible, but the .bat file allowed me around that. Wish it worked in FF or Chrome, but only IE.

Is it possible to run a .bat file on button click with node

i figured out how to solve my problem

function Process() {
const process = require('child_process');   
var ls = process.spawn('script.bat');
ls.stdout.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log(data);
});
ls.stderr.on('data', function (data) {
  console.log(data);
});
ls.on('close', function (code) {
   if (code == 0)
        console.log('Stop');
   else
        console.log('Start');
});
};

document.getElementById('buttonid').addEventListener('click', function(e)     {
Process();
console.log("working");
});
