I have an executable file that resides on a website that I'd like to download and run. If I use the following syntax:

LOCAL oLink AS Hyperlink
oLink=CREATEOBJECT("HyperLink")
oLink.NavigateTo("http://www.somewhere.com/Downloads/setup.exe")

My browser (IE7) popus up briefly then disappears leaving a "File Download" dialog from which I can choose to Run, Save or Cancel. While this works, I find it rather annoying that the browser has to flash the way it does.

Does anyone know if this behaviour can be suppressed?

TIA
Mike
