What what? You simply copy the file to an appropriate folder in your website folder.

Now, if you're asking how to USE that executable and do something with it, I suggest you talk to the people who wrote it.

If you're thinking to show your users the application and run it in their computer, forget it. You might offer download, but you loose any control over the application that way. You might use it on the server and use its data as background data service and just show the results to your users...

Try this code

Step 1:

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton2" runat="server" onclick="LinkButton2_Click">Download PDF</asp:LinkButton>

Step 2: Create folder and place exe in that folder.........

Step 3:

C#

protected void LinkButton2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //AdbeRdr910_en_US
            string path = Server.MapPath("AdbeRdr910_en_US.exe"); //get physical file path from server
            string name = Path.GetFileName(path);
            string ext = Path.GetExtension(path);
            string type = "";

            // set known types based on file extension  
            if (ext != null)
            {
                switch (ext.ToLower())
                {
                    case ".htm":
                    case ".html":
                        type = "text/HTML";
                        break;

                    case ".txt":
                        type = "text/plain";
                        break;

                    case ".GIF":
                        type = "image/GIF";
                        break;

                    case ".pdf":
                        type = "Application/pdf";
                        break;
                    case ".exe":
                        type = "Application/exe";
                        break;

                    case ".doc":
                    case ".rtf":
                        type = "Application/msword";
                        break;

                    
                }
            }

            Response.AppendHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=" + name);

            if (type != "")
                Response.ContentType = type;
            Response.WriteFile(path);
            Response.End(); //give POP to user for file downlaod
        }
