From PC2, you cannot directly instruct PC1 to run TEST.EXE on itself (on PC1).

If that's what you want to do, you have some options:

1. Use Remote Desktop - from PC2, log on to PC1 and start TEST.EXE
2. Investigate Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) and/or Distributed COM (DCOM)
3. Create a small EXE on PC1, say Watchdog.EXE that runs all the time. It looks for the presence of a file in a given folder, say C:\Trigger.txt. If that file exists, it runs TEST.EXE. You could then copy a file Trigger.txt from PC2 to C:\ on PC1, which would cause TEST.EXE to start to run on PC1.

The code samples you show above would attempt to:

- copy TEST.EXE from PC1 into PC2's RAM memory
- execute it on PC2
