What is the required execution level for your setup? You may need to require administrative rights... Also, what does this exe do? If it modifies the target system, you may need to set the CA's In-Script Execution to "Deferred Execution in System Context" (required when modifying files on Windows Vista with UAC). These are some of the things I'd try first...
