I don't have any experience with this thing before but having Google in my fingertips, I found some nice article for you here.

How do I execute a DOS command / batch file / exe from ASP?

Hope that's what you are looking for.
Cheers..

It depends on whether you just want an exe to run or use functions from a program.
To do the latter you can include .DLL files and execute the code inside them.

this works for me:

Code: Select all

<% 

Dim batchFile
Dim oShell

batchFile = "C:\SafariSetup.exe"

Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

oShell.Run batchFile,3,false

Set oShell = Nothing

If Err.Number <> 0 Then
    If oShell <> Nothing Then Set oShell = Nothing
End If
%>
