Anyone have any code or links or ideas on how to create a client launcher application that would invoke the exe on the server? I can't seem to get my app to start - but it works great right through the browser. This is a windows exe.

You probably want to use No Touch deployment... Though the exe wont be running on the server, only being served up for deployment. A very nice, and easy deployment method for deployment.

I keep hearing and reading that it is simple, but it is proving not to be. I can set it up so it works if you are starting your app from a form, but if you are using Sub Main in a module, I can't seem to figure out how to execute it.
Take a look at this tutorial with source on No Touch Deployment. Hopefully you'll have some luck with it.

If you dont have luck with it... Try this. It's not as sleek as No Touch, or as easy to implement, but it might be more suited to your application.
