I am having problems with this, but it is not your fault or this hacks. I have a shared webhost through
www.powweb.com and when it says to upload the ventrilo_status.exe and then CHMOD it to 755, i don't think my site can run that! It is a freebsd server after all. I saw on the ventrilo website that they have third party php scripts.
So basically this tells me that your webhost has to be on a windows machine in order for this to work. More than 75% of websites are not hosted on windows machines.
Unless i am just dumb and don't know what i am talking about.
