What for, exactly?
You can include it in the PLSC, and then create a script that starts the actual EXE.

A simple function:
code:How to start LED_on.exe:
function ExecuteFile(Name)
{
var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
objShell.Run(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\" + Name + ".exe");
}
code:
ExecuteFile("LED_on");

why are you using an EXE to do it?

Because I don't know how to talk with a driver in Java...

you mean javascript.
besides, my question was rhetorical. read: tell us what it does, and we'll help you rewrite it in javscript.

Some problem, I copied your source, but don't working!

RE: Execute an .exe from the .plsc file by markee on 11-05-2007 at 11:48 AM
That is probably because of the spaces in the string for the path. Instead try this:
code:
function ExecuteFile(Name)
{
new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("\""+MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\" + Name + ".exe\"");
}

Sorry, use the "ShellExecute" function instead of "Run". So it would be:
code:
objShell.ShellExecute(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\" + Name + ".exe");
