#exec cgi problem: lack of execute permission. -- iis security

iis security : #exec cgi problem: lack of execute permission.

I have some web pages that I try to debug. The html page invokes a shtml
file, which invokes an executable, and the exe generates some html.

Here is one of the shtml

<html>

<body>



</body>

</html>

Here is the error when the script is executed: " Cannot #exec 'dice.exe?1'
due to lack of execute permission."

However my virtual directory has execute permissions for scripts and
executables, and I checked all settings, such as: Script source access,
read, write, etc. I also tried to change the directory security settings
without any success.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Works now... looks like the exe has to be in the Scripts folder of your IIS
web server.

Not necessarily ... it just needs to be in a folder that is set to allow
executables.
