Hello,

I'm getting the code below when trying to execute a exe file on the IIS server :

-----
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
-------
(no headers are displayed)


What I'm trying to do is using an exe file to process a certain math function, and it returns html as result
(the exe is not written by me, so I have no clue how it works exactle).

First of all, besides changes the folder permision (what i've done already), do I have to do something else as well in order to make the exe working?
I don't know, but something like registering the exe?

Would it be enough to put the file in the webfolder? (OR do you always have to make certain modifications in the IIS admin? I never used an exe on a website, so any help More than welcome.

With kind regards and many thanks for help
Bram
