在VB.net中执行EXE

Question

I'm trying to execute a exe file in vb.net but i'm not getting any luck doing it.

I've found multiple examples on the internet doing it but it is not working for me.

    Dim file As String = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TEST\TestConsoleApp.exe"

    Dim str As SecureString = ConvertToSecureString("PASSWORD")

    Dim info As ProcessStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo(file, new_num)
    info.UserName = "USERNAME"
    info.Password = str
    info.UseShellExecute = False
    info.CreateNoWindow = True

    Dim p As Process = Process.Start(info)

Function ConvertToSecureString(ByVal str As String)
    Dim password As New SecureString
    For Each c As Char In str.ToCharArray
        password.AppendChar(c)
    Next
    Return password
End Function

When i run the exe manually or locally through vs 2010, it works fine for me, but when I put on on the server a response at all. What I mean by response is when the exe is complete I write to a text file that exe has been completed.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(TestConsoleApp.exe) instead of the hardcoded C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\TEST\\TestConsoleApp.exe ? I am assuming TEST is the name of your virtual directory, right?
