just a guess...put the app in the cgi-bin with the right permissions?
works on unix.
It is possible to execute .exe files with web servers that support it, e.g. IIS.
Here's an example from my homepage, it's an online compiler written in C++.
The information sent to cout will be displayed in the webbrowser, and the information posted to the .exe with a form is read with cin.

Also the URL could be an alias....no guarantee that it goes directly to an exe....
as far as i know you can send information to any form of binary code as a CGI. I've seen people do it with dll's even. If you can compile it you can use it as a CGI.
