Launch an external exe

[DanBarclay]

Thank you for your very interesting explanation.

I managed to run with Delphi code:

Code:

ShellExecute(0 , 'OPEN' ,PChar(ExtractFilePath(Application.ExeName)+ '.\Application.exe'), Nil, Nil, 0);

This code is executed without problem

Yes, it will execute but is it what you want?   

In the development environment you are almost always using the same machine for the client and server.   If you intend to see what the user sees then access your app from another machine.  It is a good idea to do that regularly when you are first doing web work (IW or any other).   An adjacent machine is handy to have.

In this case you would see the user web page on one machine and the launched application on the other (server development) machine.
