DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50814] SSI exec not working on Windows (Apache 2.x)

Some updates about trying to use ssi exec after doing some more 
experimentation with this:

I still have not been able to use exec to invoke an .exe and see its output 
but have been able to use it to show some output from an invoked Windows batch 
file.  If Windows internal commands (ex: dir, ver, vol, date /t, time /t) are 
invoked within the batch file then their output will appear in the .shtml page. 
However, I have not been able to get the output of external commands
(ex: hostname.exe, netstat.exe, ipconfig.exe, etc.) that are invoked from the 
batch file to appear.  I have tried various .exe invocations from within the 
batch file to no avail (ex: 'hostname.exe', 'cmd /c hostname.exe', etc.).

Any thoughts on how to get the output of a .exe using the ssi exec?

Below is an example of the latest test files and output.  You can see that
hostname.exe produced no output either when invoked directly by exec or
when used within the batch file.  However, hostname.exe does produce output to
the console when the ssitest.cmd is invoked directly on the command-line.
