Web Service Extension for EXE's ?

I have my EXE's running on their websites on my server because I allowed
ALL unknown CGI's. I know it is much better to just allow the one
extension I actually use.

I tried to add "exe" as an extension but WSE wants to know what the
required files are, and since exe's unlike pl, php, asp, etc. doesn't
use an interpreter other than Windows itself, I don't know what to put
here or how to do it. I considered adding CMD.EXe but not sure about that.

Thanks.

Do not try to add "exe" as an extension because that's adding a
Scriptmapping, which is not what you're trying to do. Go to the top node of
the configuration UI, at the Web Sites/AppPools level, you should see Web
Service Extensions.

Read the documentation from the F1 help in the IIS Manager UI for
step-by-step instructions and troubleshooting.

i.e. If the EXE you are allowing to run are
C:\scripts\MyExe1.exe
C:\scripts\MyExe2.exe
C:\otherscripts\MyExe3.exe

Then in Web Service Extensions you would have
- Deny execute to all CGI except...
- Allow C:\scripts\MyExe1.exe
- Allow C:\scripts\MyExe2.exe
- Allow C:\otherscripts\MyExe3.exe


In the case of Perl/PHP, you would have:
- Deny execute to all CGI except...
- C:\Perl\Perl.exe
- C:\PHP\PHP.EXE
