ASP page didn;t give me an error but it is not launching my exe file If

What kind of EXE? If it is just a standard executable, you are not going to
get it to work directly from ASP, as it will have a GUI. A GUI running on a
server is not a good thing. If it is a COM EXE, you should be able to run it
as if it were a DLL, however.

It may also be a location problem, as C:\ is outside of root. WHen you use
IIS 6 (Windows 2003) or a server locked down with the IIS lockdown tool, you
cannot run a file outside of root due to transversal security concerns.
