Problem accessing a windows application with HTTPS

I am facing a problem with web deployment of a windows application,

What i am trying to achieve is I have deployed a smartclient on webserver and trying to use it from a client application and IE. The windows app is a very simple application.


Accessing with a client APP:

I am loading the exe using Assembly.loadfrom by giving the URL as the input.
In the client app if i give the HTTP URL it works fine. If i change it to HTTPS (SSL) it throws up file not found exception for its dependencies.

Accessing with IE:

When i Access the exe from HTTPS url in IE it throws up the below error

IEExec.EXE - Common Language Runtime Debugging Services

Does SSL need any special configuration.

Thanks in advance,

Nirmala S

    For all those ppl accessing this link for a solution... PE files cannot be run on https. So, exe would not be allowed to run on https...

    Keep your virtual directories away from SSL(though your web site is SSL enabled), if you want to run the exe on http.

    I am experiencing the exact same behaviour (in my VSTO based Excel Document).
