Coldfusion 10 SystemCommand, cfexecute, .exe

I want to run the .exe file, but the hosting block cfexecute

We do not allow the "cfexecute" tag to be enabled on our shared servers for security reasons.

Search for solutions on the Internet, I found a project systemcommand.jar

java -version (Used to test the code)

Example 1 (SystemCommand_1) Code works

<cfset cmd = "java -version">
<cfset runtime = createObject("java", "java.lang.Runtime")>
<cfset process = runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd)>
<cfdump var="#process#"/>

Example 2 (SystemCommand_2)  Code works

http://blog.stannard.net.au/2007/9/21/executing-system-commands-with-coldfusion/

<cfset command = "java -version">
<cfset syscmd = createObject("component","SystemCommand").init()>
<cfset result = syscmd.execute(command)>
<cfdump var="#result#">

Example 3 (SystemCommand_3) Why the code does not work

Doesn't work how? Please post any error messages you're getting.

We do not allow the "cfexecute" tag to be enabled on our shared servers for security reasons.
..
<cfset process = runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd)>

I'm surprised that works at all.  cfexecute is simply a wrapper for Runtime.exec. You may not want to plan on this as a long term solution, since your host could easily disable it too ...
You can zip your exe up and that will make it possible to be downloaded, unzipped on the clients computer and then execute the exe.
