The "404" message is simply the webserver saying you entered
something that doesn't exist. You left off the leading slash.

Assuming you have c:\intersrv\webnator\cgi-bin properly configured as a CGI
directory in your webserver the correct action would be:
ACTION="/webinator/cgi-bin/texis.exe/webinator/newsearch/"

More likely, you should have just installed in the "scripts" directory that IIS
preconfigures for CGI. Then your action would be:
ACTION="/scripts/texis.exe/webinator/newsearch/"
