Re: run exe "from" website...
If you want to run an application inside a web browser you will need to write an ActiveX control, but then a lot of browsers don't support it, and some people will have problems viewing it in IE without changing security settings.
Otherwise, look into something like Java.
If you want someone to click a button and have it launch an EXE on their computer, they will have to manually download it first and then run it.

Open up VB. Where it asks you what type of project, select "ActiveX Control".
Then code it like you would any other VB program. Then compile as an OCX.
Then open up the Package & Deployment Wizard that comes with VB. Find the .vbp project file of your ActiveX control and follow the steps. It should create a few files like .cab, .html etc. Open up the .html file. You may have to change your IE security settings for it to show. All the files it creates will need to be uploaded to your website.

You will also need to ensure you activex control will work in browsers other than IE. That could get tricky.
