Ive got several windows applications that each has a huge amount of content (several GBs), which id like to put onto the web. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances, there are no integration options available into the application and nor do i have access to the code/database. This content will be very unique and easy to monetize. One approach is to get cheap consultants to type it all in, but Id rather think out-of-the-box and get it to work as it is. Im assuming (theoretically) you could have a heavy client application (java applets/flash/etc) running in the browser which would display the screen content and map user input (keyboard/mouse clicks) to the the windows application. But does such an application exist? If so whats is the name of it? How does it scale? Any input is appreciated on this topic. Thanks in advance.
If an exe has that much content, I'm assuming the content would be stored in other files besides the exes. You should be able to parse the data from those files and turn it into some webpages. I wouldn't suggest what you're thinking of though (some type of remote desktop to the application through a java applet?)
