The way you solve it is not to go running around in circles trying to find a way to launch an executable file on the client. These kinds of browser security vulnerabilities have long since been pretty much patched up tight.
I think you are correct, I wanted to do this but I can see why its not available. I have a command line utility I needed Silverlight to run to operate on some files on a server, but instead I think the solution is a Service on the server that does this
and the Silverlight just shows the results.
