Most likely "Working with legacy code":
- Instantiate and Invoke an ActiveX Control
- Instantiate and invoke a COM and COM+ component.
- Call native functions by using platform invoke.
For Example:

Note that while currently that Training kit is today
the top rated .NET item at amazon for programming books
(position #66) it is usually deemed a great doorstop
in this news-group. In case your interested, I got most
of this info through Amit Kalani's 70-316, 70-320 books.

Think of it as an XCOPY over the web scenario.
You place the executable on a web server
(which doesn't have to have .NET)
and make it accessible via a URL:
http://www.myserver.com/MyApp.exe
Clicking the URL will download the app and start it locally
(i.e. the client needs .NET). For this to work the executable
must come from a server in a a "trusted zone".
