In Configuration Manager 2007, the executable action runs a program or opens a file by using the program registered with Windows for that file type.

The following attributes and elements are specific to an action that runs a program:

  • The ActionDescription element Class attribute is set to Executable.

  • The Executable element is parent to FilePath, the path to the program, and to Parameters, the parameters passed to the executable.
