Objective to use an ASP page to run a remote application (exe file) on a web server with ASPEXEC.
----------------------------------------------------------

-ASPEXEC executes remote applications as DOS Apps or Windows Applications.

This is how we do it ..:)

REGISTER ASPEXEC
1)move file aspexec.dll to winnt/system32 directory
2)regsrv32 aspexec.dll

***ASPEXEC DOS Commands can sometimes not work properly if Norton antivirus "Script Blocking is enabled, only Windows commands will work smoothly!

***Remote application will not pop up window, whether you use DOS or windows commands, due to SP3 service pack bug.

***IF REMOTE APP IS OPEN , then use terminate on XP, or kill on 2000 Server first!! Otherwise will not work.
