Answer 1

I would check security.

The user that "hosts" the IIS proccess does likely not have the rights to run exeute files outside the IIS folder.

Also posting a actual error message would be helpfull. On a side note if its Exepction is of type UnauthorizedAccessException then its very likely what i describe above.

Answer 2

I had this problem and for me it was the location of the bat file. It had placed the bat file in it's own folder under the solution in Visual Studio but this meant IIS could not access it. When I moved the bat file to the wwwroot folder everything worked as expected.
