call it how? just run the exe?
look into Tools.Shell
of course your win app needs permissions to run that app.

Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow

Calling an EXE on the client, or on the server?
On the server, it's pretty easy as Spirit suggests. Calling an EXE on the client is probably not going to happen. There's too many security issues with that, and most browsers should not allow you to do that.

You'll probably need to look into a signed ActiveX control to do what you need.
