"...invoke a windows application from an ASP page ..."

There are always 2 sides to an ASP page - server side script and client side script.  What side are you on and what sort of program is "...\MyProgram.exe"?

Is MyProgram.exe a console mode program or one that displays any kind of UI () or expects interactive user input?

Is it sensitive to the "current directory"?  

Can it successfully run under the IUSR_machinename account used by IIS for anonymous access?  

Is there any other way to accomplish what MyProgram.exe does using ADO?
