I'd like to experience the no-touch deployment using the web and IIS.

1)
I've made a winform project and have made an EXE (strong named). I've
then created a virtual directory and put this EXE in the virtual
directory.

Now, I'd like to launch this EXE from the internet explorer. The
address is http://localhost/myVirtualDirectory/myExecutable.exe. The
internet explorer tells the site is found, but stalls there and fall
in GCI timeout after ~ 2 minutes. I've set full trust to this exe
file, so I wonder why it does not work ?

2)

I've tried to write some code to call this exe file using
Assembly.LoadFrom("http://localhost/myVirtualDirectory/myExecutable.exe").
It tells that http://localhost/myVirtualDirectory/myExecutable.exe
cannot be found !!! But I can see it with internet explorer !

What is wrong ?
Any idea ?
