.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / February 2005System.Diagnostics.Process
I'm using the Process class in my app to start another app, appXXX, I wrote. Appxxx is located at c:\folke\appxxx.exe This is wroking fine from a Windows Application, but NOT from an ASP.NET app. I get the error message: Can't find file! ??? I need to start appxxx from the ASP.NET app!  SignatureFolke Hello folke, I believe this is a permissions issue. ASPNET user doesnt have permissions to see the file. You could do it with impersonation if its an internal ASP.net service. However I'd strongly discourage you from starting processes using asp.net HTH Regards, Dilip Krishnan MCAD, MCSD.net dkrishnan at geniant dot com http://www.geniant.com > I'm using the Process class in my app to start another app, appXXX, I > wrote.

On a Server is MyApp.mdb (Access Application) Users want to use MyApp.mdb from a Link in a Web Page. What is the best way to start MyApp.mdb from the Web Page? The do not accept to map to ther server and just doubleclick on myapp.mdb! regards Folke > Hello folke, > I believe this is a permissions issue.

Hello folke, There is no concept of *starting* an mdb. You'd need to download the mdb file and I can see you may need to use DIME if you want to use web services. otherwise just a http like to the mdb should do! HTH Regards, Dilip Krishnan MCAD, MCSD.net dkrishnan at geniant dot com http://www.geniant.com > OK! > So here is the problem. [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >>> I get the error message: Can't find file! ??? >>> I need to start appxxx from the ASP.NET app! Thanks for your answer. Look at code below! private void btnStart_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { myProcess.Start(); } private void btnStop_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { System.Diagnostics.Process[] myProcesses; myProcesses = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("MSAccess"); foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process instance in myProcesses) { instance.WaitForExit(3000); instance.CloseMainWindow(); } This is for a Windows app. When I configure the myProcess object StartInfo/FileName to "c:\x\y\msApp.mdb" I can start and stop any number of Access windows running msApp.mdb I just wonder why an ASP.NET app cannot do the same thing (can't find the file)? As for your response I'll follow your advise and go for a download, maybe execute it from within an ActiveX control! regards Folke > Hello folke, > There is no concept of *starting* an mdb.

Hello folke, Yes but if you do that in the ASP.net process theoretically it will start the access application in the server. It wont however because it will not have permissions to do so. How is that in any way benefitial to u? May be am missing something. Anyways to answer your question the ASP.net user doesnt have permissions to do what you are wanting it to do HTH Regards, Dilip Krishnan MCAD, MCSD.net dkrishnan at geniant dot com http://www.geniant.com > Thanks for your answer. > Look at code below!
