This: <a href="asfunction:openExe(path/to/exe-file.exe);"> should be: <a href="asfunction:openExe,path/to/exe-file.exe">
The first part of the string after asfunction: is the path to the function you are calling. After the comma is the parameter the function will receive. Btw, your subject is a little misleading since your actual problem is with asfunction. If the trace isn't happening then the fscommand has no chance of working. And to that, make sure your EXE is in a folder called fscommand, and that folder is in the same folder as your SWF/EXE.
