The server has to be a Windows server, otherwise it won't work. You don't have to chmod, but you have to run it as CGI EXE. You can find some examples here.

I think he's talking about it running all the time and do something, not when
it is called.

I don't think you'll be able to get an exe to run within the webserver for more then a few minutes without causing the webserver to fall over. However you can have the exe run on the server in its own process to do certain things. Again you'll need to have a Windows server to do this and more then likely it needs to be a dedicated server to run programs/daemons on.
