title: What is the alternatives for Java Applet to launch client programs using Chrome browsers?
body: <p>I am working in a web application using ASP.net and C#.</p>
  
  <p>My target is to check on a desktop application on the client machine .. If it was exist then I should launch it. Else if it wasn't exist, we should download, install and then launch it.</p>
