Impossible to be able to do if the client has even the smallest ideas
about security of their own computer. I will NEVER allow a web site to
spawn an executable program on my client, let alone know to where on my
file system I may choose to save it as a download.

You are using the wrong application methodology, trying to hammer a nail
with a screwdriver. What you need to achieve this is MS Terminal Server
or Citrix.
