Q:

Running a exe file is blocked on my Windows machine. Looking for workaround

I have a JavaScript based Protractor automation setup. I'm almost sure that running an exe file through the code is blocked somehow. But I can run it on cmd manually and it works. I don't see any error on the console while running (I use VS Code) But is does't perform what it supposed to. 
Below is my code which is very simple:
var exec=require('child_process').execFile;  //Also tried: require('shelljs');
exec('./support/abc.exe');

Is there a way to bypass the firewall or the service whichever is responsible and run exe from my JavaScript code?

A:

I figured it out lately that nothing actually blocks the exe file. My code before this line had the problem. I fixed the issue and it's now working fine. Thanks to people who spent time looking into my question and gave valuable suggestion.
