    ok well I guess I was not specific enough in this post. I
    have found another thread that I thought was talking about
    the similar problem and posted in there thinking that they
    were having the same problem. (turns out it was something
    different) "Re: IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003."

    Howerver Here is the excerpt of the message
    My case is
    -----------
    Allow the user to browse to a web page, which executes
    zipcode.exe on the server, and the web page formats the
    output and returns it to the browser as a web page.
    ---------

    When a visitor browses
    http://mysite.com/lookup.php?zipcode=03791
    The lookup.php page takes the input var of 03791 and
    passes
    it off to the zipcode.exe (a commandline module for
    windows)

    then the results are sent back to the php page to be used
    to look up information.

    So basically zipcode.exe a command line tool that returns
    a
    result based on the var's passed.

    This tool works in my existing IIS 5 web site application
    in my windows 2000 server.

    We are upgrading a new server that is running windows 2003
    server with IIS 6.

    I have IIS and PHP 4 running and ALL of my php pages are
    running fine except the ones that call zipcode.exe

    I have read the if I give execute permissions to
    %SystemRoot%/System32/cmd.exe for the user IUSR_sytemname
    then the shell command will work.
    I'm reluctant to give access rights to the IUSR_sytemname
    because of security reasons.

    Is their any workaround other than giving access rights to
    the command line?

    Thanks
    Tim
