how can I launch an application from asp page?

[mellynda]

Hello,
I'm trying to launch an application (.exe) from an asp page.
Here is what I write:
<% Dim variable_execution
Set variable_execution=Server.CreateObject(&quot;ASPExec.Execute&quot
variable_execution.application = &quot;cmd&quot;
variable_execution.parameters=&quot;/c c:\tcpclient.exe&quot;
variable_execution.ShowWindow = True
Result_execution = variable_execution.ExecutedosApp response.write(Result_execution)
%>
I obtain this error:
ERROR: Could not create process
and when I write
Result_execution = variable_execution.ExecuteWinApp
instead of
Result_execution = variable_execution.ExecutedosApp
I obtain
cmd /c c:\tcpclient.exe
but the application didn't start!
I don't understand why. When I type c:\tcpclient.exe directly on msdos, it works!
Can someone help me?

Mellynda,

I'm no wiz with ASPExec, but I can direct you to this discussion on a different forum which covers your topic. Hopefully this is helpful.
