You can't run an executable on the client's machine /browser directly. If this were possible it would have some very serious security implications. To run an executable on a client machine you need to have a look at one of the following technologies:
XBAPs: Probably the best for what you want: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa970060.aspx
ActiveX Plugins: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/COM/CompleteActiveX.aspx
Google native client: http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/
Java Applets: http://java.sun.com/applets/

What have you tried? Again you can't simply run executables in the browser for security reasons The link that ive posted is the technologies that you could possibly use to achieve your goal- but then again there's no guarantee that you can make that work the way you expect it to work
