Run a .NET EXE from a webhost
-
I need to invoke e .NET Managed .EXE located on a Webhost (https://..) from client machines. These clients mostly don't have the .net framework installed. Can I do this from (I know very old) VB6? I know it's old, but IT don't want to install .net framework on 600-800 clients for just one app... Note: the .EXE application updates exchange calendar info using ExchangeWebService.

You cannot run .NET applications on systems that do not have .NET. You need to build an installer and let the clients install the app and all prerequisite libraries.
Probably I will have to create a webservice that does the job, which I can call from VB6. Unfortunatly I am stuck to this. Internally we have .net installed on the web servers (for our intranet) and the clients just are Win 7 / Xp with office installed, some policies even deny access to the "C:\" drive for standard users (not developers) :(

It's probably already installed; if it ain't, IT should take note that their clients aren't updated using Windows Update - which means that they're prolly missing security-packages. Even Win2k (using the latest SP) has .NET 2.0.
