Run exe from webserver

Hi ,
We have been stugling with this issue for quite some time. Our basic
requirement was to develop a web based tool for windows performance
monitoring and reporting. We have been using visual studio 2005 and sql for
this. We have developed the application in windows form using c# and have
created an exe of the same. we have also developed a web front end which is
hosted in web server.We need to call this exe from web environment. We tried
this in local environment (ie local pc with out hosting web) and it worked
with the path we gave , but is not working when we try to connect using web.
Pls help us out a way to get windows application to be launched when we
click and web page link.
Also we require to run exe and not go with download option.
Thaks in advance,

Hmm... do you really suppose that the Windows application (the exe) will run
at the client?
Actually when you start a Windows application from a Webserver application,
the Windows application will run at the server, this in an invisible
desktop. So what you are trying makes no sense at all, you really need to
move the functionality (what you have now in your Windows Foms app.) in a
web application or in a WebService.

when you say web based tool for windows monitoring? is it for the same
windows server as the web server or do have a network of windows
server?

If i have understood correctly, you mite have to write a web
service( that gets the information from somewhere) and spits out the
data and a win forms application or ( smart client application ) that
reads the web service data and displays it.
Check out the links below.. they mite come handy..

Hi all, I would like to ask for some help regarding separating the asp.net webserver and the sql server. I have created an asp.net application for a certain company. Initially, we installed both the iis and sql server in a single machine. Not too long ago, the machine had some hardware problems, and management has decided to purchase new servers, for both asp.net and sql server.

I use VS 2005 and ASP.Net. For conveniance I use the inbuilt webserver, but recently I have encountered a lot of problem. When I debug it sometimes takes extremely long time to launch the application, sometimes 10-30 minutes!

The machine is new and has 1 Gb RAM, so I guess it...

Dear all, Please help~~ I have a problem in connecting my new FC5 webserver (apache 2.2 + php 5.1.4) to a few database servers through the PHP scripts (RH9, FC2, FC3).
