more specific,
what would be the fastest, and/or your preferred way of running a kiosk in windows that does the following:
- startup a page (or app) with 3 links
- link 1 and 2 each opens a specific URL in a modal
- link 3 launches a windows executable, in windowed mode, foreground (even better if modal)
- closing the modals or executable would return to the page
I've tried/been considering the following:
1. OpenKiosk: I haven't found a way to run it with extensions to use IE rendering engine, so can't launch .exe
2. Tweaked Chrome/windows settings to boot as a kiosk: I managed to launch the .exe from Chrome, but the IE extension is limited
3. paid kiosk software: SiteKiosk, I got access but looks like it's IE-only
4. Both (2) or (3) would require rebuilding the page for IE specifically
5. URI Scheme: 2 of you mentioned it and I found the article just not comfy with Registry and steps unclear
6. server: like python or node.js should be able to launch exes
6a. maybe Electron, so I can keep my page ? 🤔 defo interesting to learn but gonna take time
Like I said, the URI is the way to go
