Hello,

Thank you for your inquiry. SiteKiosk 9.7 is no longer supported. There are no known issues with launching applications this way (even since it worked the first time for you). The non-response could mean that the application may have launched in the background (or is still running). Depending on the application, it could be that this application depends on other executables: see Section 1.2 Indirectly launched programs -

This option may require you to list the paths in Configuration>>Applications and link this entry to Start Screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Cpzhz9t5-c

Some applications will need a combination of the RunHelper (Explorer shell virtualization) and batch files to not run in the background - https://devblog.provisio.com/post/2021/06/30/Using-the-RunHelper-Tool-to-Start-Applications.aspx

This web page solution is for you to incorporate this feature in your existing webpage. If you need to create an HTML file to launch an application, then you may as well use Start Screen to avoid coding (see video link above) - "Starting External Applications from Web Pages" https://devblog.provisio.com/post/2016/05/20/Starting-External-Applications-from-Web-Pages.aspx

Here is general information about SiteKiosk and external applications (including making certain exceptions):
