Is there a way to get executable program files (photo slide show) to run from
Frontpage? If not, How do you set up a download link where the executable
slide show file can be downloaded? I use a third party slide show creator
that encapsulates the photos within the executable program.

Thanks

Place the executable in a .zip file, import into your website and create
a link to the .zip

You could miss the .zip stage, but some hosts will not allow executables
to be uploaded to their servers, and some PCs' security software will
not allow executables to be downloaded and run.

No. It would be a security risk. Put it in a ZIP file, import the ZIP to
your web and link to it.
