Identify your software's dependencies, hardware requirements (like GPU usage), and database connections.
Package your .exe file along with any necessary configuration files into a standard .zip archive.
A fully managed AWS service that non-destructively streams desktop applications to HTML5 browsers.
Node.js, Python (FastAPI/Django), or Go to manage heavy server-side processing.

| Your situation | Best approach | |----------------|----------------| | You have 1–5 users, need quick remote access to a legacy EXE | Thinfinity / Parallels / Windows Remote App | | You own the source code and want a modern solution | Rewrite as web app (Blazor, React + API) | | You want a free, open-source option | Apache Guacamole + RDP to a Windows VM | | The EXE is a CLI tool (no GUI) | Build a simple web form + backend exec | | You need a public SaaS product from a desktop app | Full rewrite or containerized API |
Update the software once on the server, and every user gets the latest version instantly.
