Notes for version 1.0 & 2.0 users:
Please unregister the old version before installing this new version.
You can do this by typing
  regsvr32 /u aspexec.dll

Also note that the object is now called AspExec.Execute instead of
ASPsvg.Execute so your Server.CreateObject calls will need to be changed
to reflect this new name.


Description: ASPExec allows you to execute DOS and Windows apps. The following
functionality is available through ASPExec

property Application : Set the path (optional) and exe/com filename
property Parameters  : Set the app parameters
property TimeOut     : Set the timeout to wait (milliseconds)
                         Used only for ExecuteDosApp and ExecuteWinAppAndWait
property ShowWindow  : Set whether the executing app is visible or not
                         Used only for ExecuteWinAppAndWait and ExecuteWinApp


ExecuteDosApp        : Executes the specified app as a DOS app and returns
                         stdio as string
ExecuteWinAppAndWait : Execute the specified app as a Windows app and wait
                         for the specified timeout if exec is successful
ExecuteWinApp        : Execute the specified app as a Windows app and return
                         result code immediately


Installation: To use this ASP component move the DLL into a subdirectory
(like \winnt\system32 for NT or \windows\system for Win95) and type

   regsvr32 aspexec.dll

You MUST go into control panel/services/world wide web publishing service
and turn Allow Service to Interact with Desktop on to use this component
if you run IIS as a service.

Some users after upgrading to SP3 report that visual apps no longer pop up. Make sure
that you have any Inetinfo managed services marked as "Allow to Interact with Desktop"
if you want to see visible apps on the server screen. Otherwise they will appear as
hidden windows.

Usage: See the attached example ASP scripts for usage
