Just get them all to use Windows and IE and enable ActiveX, and you're
all set. :-v

More seriously, though, you would need to explain what the program is,
what it does, how it works, etc to get a concrete answer on the
appropriate way to REALLY do this.

As it stands in the bare-bones question you've posted, the answer is:
Provide a link to an .exe file, and tell the user to run it.
Either they trust you and do that, or they don't.
