Exec & IIS problem

Hi,


I have an exe that I want to run with php. In the console, it works
perfectly fine.


There is a problem with security and it doesn't seem to run. I have
tried the following after reading various newsgroups and websites and
no luck.


1) Put the Exe file in the wwwroot and set permissions to the IUSER,
giving Read&Execute, even gave Full Control.
2) I also added Everyone too and still no luck
3) Moved the exe file to system32 folder and did the same above and
still no luck


Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Example code?
What were you trying to run?
What was the return code?

Here is what I am doing:

<?
//echo exec('whoami');
//echo "<BR><BR>";
//echo exec('Encryption.exe s PublicKey.xml');
?>

<?php
$output = `Encryption.exe s PublicKey.xml`;
echo $output;
?>

Where Encryption.exe is a console application built using .NET. This
by itself works perfectly fine on command prompt.
