Execute EXE with an ASP

[Just1Coder]

I recently moved an app over to IIS 6 from IIS 5. Everything works
great! I use ASPExecute to run an .exe - but it doesn't fire. It just
sits in the process window. Doesn't do anything. Is IWAM, or IUSR or
both required to run it?

I've never heard of ASPExecute. Is that a third-party product? If so, you
probably need to contact their tech support.

You can use FileMon (www.winternals.com , I believe) to determine which user
is trying to access the EXE.

Yes, it is - found it here a few years ago:

I get the same problem using wshell too though... I don't think it's a
component problem.

It's running under the Network Service.

Right

It shows Network Service running the .exe

How can I get IWAM to execute it instead as the Network Server doesn't
seem to be doing anything... the EXE is just sitting there idle. ( IIS 6.0 )

Today I ran filemon.exe on a Citrix server. As soon as I opened it and
applied my filter, the server blue screened. It was neat. The 40 people
with TS sessions on the server really got a kick out of it. Damn third
party applications.
