Same way as it finds the DLL... you have the register the .EXE as a COMponent... you do this by running the .EXE on the machine with the /regserver command line switch.

From the DOC:

A Visual FoxPro Automation server built as an out-of-process .exe can also be registered by specifying the Automation server name and including the /RegServer switch. For example, the following command registers the Visual FoxPro FoxWeb Automation server:

Foxweb.exe /RegServer
