Process.Start from web app

[mecoder]

I need to kick off an executable from ASP.NET web application. I tried using Process.Start("c:\myexe.exe") and I am getting 'Access Denied'. I tried to add IUSR and ASPNET in admin group. What kind of access do I need to give?

The ASPNET account (or Network Service for W2k3) needs to have access to the folder the exe is in.

That helped - actually myexe was writing to a file on network and did not have access to it. Thanks
