Run dlls an exe files from ASP

[forostec]

Hello, i need to know how to run an exe file and a dll from ASP, how can i do this?

FYI. I have Windows NT and IIS 4. Do i need to setup something on the server? if so, how?

Thanks for the support.

You should be able to find some answers if you search through the forum(s) as I believe this question has been previously asked.

The standard email CDONT is an dll example.
EXE you can't call from ASP.

dll's are called from ASP, serverobjects.com has a tool called aspExec that will let you run command line programs and capture as much returnable text for you and make it available for your web app. there's also "free" versions of this as well that you can copy/paste into VB and compile your own component, although i recommend against it, the small price is well worth the tech support if it's ever neeeded.
