Execute visual basic .exe from Classic ASP website.

Question

I have a visual basic .exe which works fine when I run it or double click it on any machine or on server.

But when I put that .exe file on server so any user using internal portal site can execute from their own account. It doesn't give me results, when I try to run from my asp page using my account.

I can see the process for that .exe running on task manager on server but it doesn't give me result.

Could anyone please guide me with that?

I have written following code in my asp page.

VB

str = "C:\test.exe"

set oWSH = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
oWSH.Exec str
Set oWSH = Nothing

"No, I am trying to say I can run a exe file from anywhere and I can see the exe results in database table but when I run it from asp website, it doesn't give me result in database. I can see the process running via task manager on server"
Does the server have the correct .NET framework installed? Could it be complaining rather than running?

Yes it has .Net framework installed and it doesn't complain anything or giving any error. It just works fine like an exe when I open a taskmanager to see the process. I can see it running under "Network Service" username. I've given full access to that user but I can't see the result from that exe.

Are you saying: "I have a VB Winforms EXE file which works fine and shows me a form full of results when I run it on my machine. But when I run it on the server, I don't see the form full of results on my machine."

If so, then no. You won't. The form will be shown on the server (and will probably annoy the heck out of the server administrator)

No, I am trying to say I can run a exe file from anywhere and I can see the exe results in database table but when I run it from asp website, it doesn't give me result in database. I can see the process running via task manager on server.
