[ale] Running executable apps on IIS

[Robert Coggins]

James,

How are they connecting to the server? About the only way they can do 
this is if the remotely login.  For example telnet, ssh, windows remote 
login.  Over the web you might be able to do this using asp.  I know php 
has scripts to run programs server side.  ASP should too.  This will run 
the program as the admin I believe or what ever user IIS runs under. You 
will of course have to give the app permissions to do so.  I hope this 
helps.  There might be something else you can do but right now I can't 
think of anything else...
