Are you able to download a specific file from the server and save it into a specific directory. Keep in mind that it needs to work with binary files. I want to install a file into a Program Files directory. If this is not possible, is there a solution with Google Gears, Flash, Java, or Silverlight?
No, you can’t. It would be a great security issue.
You can create a simple download link, and let the user specify where he saves the file. If you ask him to do that, he might even execute your installer if he wishes to.
Flash and the others are not allowed to do things like this as well. Imagine what a huge problem would that mean…
