Starting application from within a Windows Service

Asked by lgropper in Microsoft Visual C#.Net

Tags: C# .net 2003

I am using Visual C# 2003 on .NET Framework 1.1


I have created a windows service to periodically move files and I want to increase it's capabilities to include running programs at certain times.

I have created a simple method called Run which I have attached.

it gets activated and goes through all the code, but nothing happens.

I have inserted a Try-Catch-Finally to track if there are any errors, and I am not getting any.  it seems to go all the way through the method, executing the log insertion.

Kind of at a loss as to why this does not function.  if I put this same code into a windows app, it runs fine.

I am trying to execute:  C:\WINDOWS\system32\calc.exe  just as a test.Start Free Trial

				thisProcess.StartInfo.FileName =appPath.ToString();
				thisProcess.Start();

				clsLog.WriteLogEntry("iZONE Log", "Action Test For Run Action", Mess, System.Diagnostics.EventLogEntryType.Information, 25 );
