    Does SL4 have the ability to launch installed programs when in the Out-Of-Browser mode? I have a need to build a control panel that can lanuch other installed apps both on Win and Mac.

    You will need to ensure that the OOB application is in Trusted Application mode.

     

    Check out the following thread to see how to use the Com Automation to run an application using WScript.Shell.

    What if the app is not OOB, but Word or Access or Paint or any other installed app on the local drive?

    In the thread, it shows how to load an application (sllauncher.exe).  You can try to replace this with path for the applications that you are trying to launch.
