Question : Running .exe file in asp

I have written a web site for a client and he wants people using the site to be able to run an exe file which he has written in order to calculate certain information to help them with a purchase.

we have set up a webserver to host the file as no shared service will allow us to run this file but I cannot get it to run.

I have set iis 5 to allow executables to run and am using the following code hoping that the .exe would run in my browser.  the exe in question is a neat little compiled vb application>

<%
Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.Run "d:\calculator\myFile.exe"
Set WshShell= nothing
%>

Can somebody help me please.

Answer : Running .exe file in asp

Turns out other users could not get into webmail. It was giving a 404 page cannot be displayed. I ended up rebooting for good measure, and that fixed everything.
