ensure that IUSR_whatever has the permissions to run whatever you're trying to use.

IUSR_* is a user created on the machine by installing IIS. IIS runs hosted content through this user to allow for restricting access to potentially sensitive information and files.

the external program is still not executing and I gave the IUSR_* permission to read and execute.
