Issue/Introduction

Description:

This document will explain how to run .hta (HTML Application) files via the cube.exe (GINA replacement tool).

Solution:

You can configure IM Gina to launch an .hta by placing the following in the URL:

mshta.exe "C:\full_path_name\appname.hta" 

HTA files are executed by MSHTA.exe instead of IE. You must use the full path name leading to the application.

Please note: This procedure will only work on version 8.1, as version 12 will only allow a URL.
