CGI Scripts for Mysite website?

Hi everyone. I'd like to thank you in advance if you give me any information about my following question. I own webspace from Verizon. I don't use the SiteBuilder, but instead I make my webpages from CSS, HTML, Javascript, ect. and use FTP to transfer the files onto my webspace. I have read that Verizon lets users incorporate pre-made CGI scripts into their page, so I thought I'd give it a try. I have been trying to use the "Guestbook" script, following exactly what they say to do to install it. But once I have installed everything into a page and FTP it to my webspace, it gives me a 404 Error, saying it can't find "../guestbook.exe" (after submiting my comment). Can anyone help me with this problem? I followed these directions exactly:

Please help me. Thank you.

It seems they have wrong info on there.

This is the code on my site using the site builder.

 <p>
                                    <!--gem:tlx.tlx.guestbook-->
                                    <p align="center"><font face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="1" color="cccccc"><b><a href="http://svcs.verizon.net/svcs/dcc.jsp?tpage=upub:index.html&amp;dsrc=gb:842877486280280279/DS_TLXGuestbook_1264975106653.xml&amp;partner=verizon&amp;pcon=yes&amp;xsl=dccfile:gb.xsl&amp;obpp=zlrc2O5cwtTqxMLU6M5QntrawH5c5PrOaGL6yg..&amp;ret_url=http://mysite.verizon.net/your_use_rname/index.html&amp;page=sign"><font  color="cccccc"><img border="0" src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/gem/guestbook/sign_my_guestbook_gray.gif"></font></a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="http://svcs.verizon.net/svcs/dcc.jsp?tpage=upub:mypersonalsite/index.html&amp;dsrc=gb:842877486280280279/DS_TLXGuestbook_1264975106653.xml&amp;partner=verizon&amp;pcon=yes&amp;xsl=dccfile:gb.xsl&amp;obpp=zlrc2O5cwtTqxMLU6M5QntrawH5c5PrOaGL6yg..&amp;ret_url=http://mysite.verizon.net/your_user_name/index.html&amp;page=1"><font  color="cccccc"><img border="0" src="/imagelib/sitebuilder/gem/guestbook/view_my_guestbook_gray.gif"></font></a></b></font>
