Is there a specific reason you need to use a built exe for this? lc server can use stack files (start using path/to/stack) as well as "include"ing or "require"ing extra script files, so unless you're using functionality only available in the desktop version of lc, you might be able to bypass the need to shell to your exe. This keeps the nice benefit of having instanced runs controlled by a nice solid apache server.
