[ale] OT Running executable apps on IIS

[JKeeler at mail.HamiltonTN.gov (Keeler, James)]

Yes, they are GUI.

My hope was that I could have the user interact with a program that was
running on the server while relaying the screen output to the user; kind of
like a published app in Citrix.

Just noticed you mentioned IIS in the subject.  (should be prefaced by 
OT) :)

You're very likely out of luck, unless these just generate ascii output. 
  Most windows programs are tied to a gui.  If it does only generate 
ascii output, you would need to go the cgi route.
