Start another program

[Silje]

Hello

Do you know how to run an .exe from asp.net?
For example I have an .exe which is a win application in vb.net. I would like the asp.net program to start this .exe

This code starts a process in a windows application with the user interface, but when I use the same code in an asp.net application the process starts but the user interface does not show up. How can I make that possible?
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\winTestAppPath.exe")

asp.net is being run from the ASPNET account, and that's why you'll never see the program's UI.

Are you attempting to capture output from an application, close it, and then present the output to a remote user? While presenting captured output may be possible, having a remote user view an application spawned on the server side (like HJBs response), is not.
