There's a little known Microsoft framework that allows html and JavaScript to be compiled into an exe using ie, but its so obscure I couldn't find it after five minutes of googling. And obviously it's not cross platform.

- roryisok 9y agoThat's it, thanks.
- pjmlp 9y agoMaybe Microsoft should re-market it to the Electron generation, and eventually bring back Active Desktop as well. You cannot find much about it, because it was an IE 6.0 based technology, when "Electron apps" were the IE ActiveX engine bundled as .exe.
- roryisok 9y agoI actually liked active Desktop. You could have animated wallpapers and system information embedded on your Desktop back in windows 98, it was a shame it got removed. Nowadays you have to use rain meter if you want to do any of that stuff
