besides, my question was rhetorical. read: tell us what it does, and we'll help you rewrite it in javscript.

How to start LED_on.exe:
code:
ExecuteFile("LED_on");

RE: Execute an .exe from the .plsc file
That is probably because of the spaces in the string for the path. Instead try this:
code:
function ExecuteFile(Name)
{
    new ActiveXObject("WScript.Shell").Run("\""+MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\" + Name + ".exe\"");
}

RE: RE: Execute an .exe from the .plsc file
Sorry, use the "ShellExecute" function instead of "Run". So it would be:
code:
objShell.ShellExecute(MsgPlus.ScriptFilesPath + "\\" + Name + ".exe");
