Running .exe from asp 1

[Guest_imported]

Hi Does anyone know what should I do in order to run .exe files from an asp page? In case that I need any component please notify it to me.
Thanks in advance

Well, if you set the permissions of the directory it's in to "Read, Write, & Execute", then when you link to an exe in the directory, it will execute (rather than download)...

Is that what you mean??

Well in order to be more accurate I 'm working in a project were from the web interface someone will be able to click a link for example readme.doc and this will activate an asp wich will automaticlly open Word and visitor will be able to change the document.

You can't run exe files on the users computer. This would be a big security concern. However, if someone has Office installed, Word files are automatically opened in an embedded version of Word inside the browser.
