    1. Add Variable:
    Name: wSHShell
    DataType: Automation
    Subtype: 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell

    2. Add Action
    Caption: Internet Explorer
    Type: Action

    3. Add this code to on OnAction trigger:
    CREATE(wSHShell,FALSE,ISSERVICETIER);
    wSHShell.Run('iexplore.exe');

    CLEAR(wSHShell);

    4. When running the action you will get this message:
    The Server has requested to run Windows Script Host Shell Object on your client.
    • Allow this time, but ask next time
    • Always allow
    • Never allow

    5. If you select either "Allow this time, but ask next time" or "Always allow", Internet Explorer will open.
