Run and exe file in server side ?

[JohnPham]

Hi All,

Anyone has run the exe file use vbscript in server side? I try this but it doesn't work, please advise..

temp = Request.ServerVariables("appl_physical_path")
set testExe = server.CreateObject("wscript.shell")
testExe.Run "%ComSpec% /c " & temp & " Myprogram.exe"

I also try this without the "%ComSpec% /c " , it does work either---
testExe.Run temp & " Pim91Load.exe"

Should I also run this exe file with some parameters?

like: testExe.Run temp & " Pim91Load.exe" & " " & parameter

thanks a lot for any help.

John

usually the file is saves as a .dll not an .exe and is registered on the server. the server can then createobject("app.method") to invoke the object
