I am working on angular 4 application and in one scenario i need to open specific installed application in PC.
Opened application should run standalone.
Is there any way to open application from my web page ?

Yes we can open windows application from web page as below.
1) Open Registry Editor by typing regedit
in run command(window+R).
2) Goto Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
3) Find application that you want to open from browser.
4) For example i am targeting to microsoft word so make sure it hase key
like Url:Word Protocol as mentioned in below screenshot.
5) Also check command key has value as displayed in below screenshot.
6) Now in webpage you just need to put <a href="Word:">Let's Open Word</a>
That's All.
