I am attempting to run a command on a Windows CE-based device when a button on a web page is clicked. I cannot modify the memory of the device itself. No, I will not find a different device. Yes, I know that all of this is horribly outdated and insecure. I am coding like it is 2005 and you cannot stop me. Solutions involving janky workarounds are accepted, as long as they work.

This is what I have currently:

<script type="text/vbscript">
Function MyFunc()
StartProgram "whatever.exe", "", hmiShowNormal, hmiNo
End Function
</script>

And then later down on the page there’s a button with an onclick set to run the function.

On the CE device nothing happens when I push the button.
