Question

I have a batch file to execute a VB script. While executing the batch file by double clicking will work, But when I have done the same with C# its working on my local environment but not in the staging server (windows server 2008r2), Is there any permission level i need to apply for this execution. From the staging server I can double click and execute the batch file…

I have logged in to the server with Administrator account and browsed the application as localhost.

Is there anything I’m missing on the execution of batch file from C#,

I don’t think there is any problem with my C# code as its working fine on my local environment, anyway following is my C# code,

if (File.Exists(FileName*))
            {
                System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo p = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(FileName);
                System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
                proc.StartInfo.FileName = FileName;
                proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
                proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;

                proc.Start();

                proc.WaitForExit();

            }
            else
            {
                lblMsg.Text = "Sorry unable to process you request";
            }

*FileName is the path to batch file. Also I have set full permission to the folders that containg both batch file and vbs files.

For this to work your app pool needs to be run as a user who has access to the batch file.
Check how to change your app pool identity for IIS 7 or IIS 6.
