Nobody in his right mind would let their browser download an .exe
and execute it. That's how you run up nasty infections.

If all you want to do is have the user go to a starting page and
then transition automatically after a set time period (e.g. 5 seconds)
to another page and so on and so on, it can be done completely
in HTML - no javascript, no applets, no nothing...

For details on how to do this, google on the terms "meta" and
"refresh" , the first link I get for this gives a fairly succinct
explanation at
