How to best launch command line request?

Hello,

For a client that uses Efficy 10.2, there is already a sync in place between Efficy and their erp software "Talk".

There is a functionality to launch the Talk GUI in Efficy by pressing a button on the relevant contact/company consultation window.

This works fine in IE, but not in for example Chrome. I found that this is due to the use of the ActiveXObject.

What would be a better way to realize this so that all browser can support this functionality? I provided a part of the code below.

function InformNewTalk(Params) {
    var RunStr = "";
    try {
        RunStr += "cmd /K C: & CD c:\\Talkv3_speed\\ & "
        RunStr += "start " + Params.replace(/\==/g,"//")
        RunStr += " & exit";
        var w = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell");

        w.run(RunStr);
    } catch (ex) {
        alert(RunStr.replace(/\"/g,"") + "\nError:\n" + ex.message);
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
