Java web installer - How'd they do that?

Does anyone know how Citrix gets this installer to push an EXE straight out from a web page, and install it into the start menu as if it were a regular downloaded installer?

I'm stumped!

Is this Java Web Start in action? If so how do they get it started without downloading a JNLP? (or do I have something installed on my computer previously that I'm not aware of that allows this?)

GoToMeeting JNLP prompt

This is a Java Applet security prompt. Since the Applet is a signed Applet, it is granted permissions to interact with things on your computer, such as downloading and launching an installer.
