Question

I have implemeneted a method into my c# program to run a batch file, which runs a virus scan on any files uploaded;

public static Int32 ExecuteCommand(String filePath, Int32 Timeout){
    Int32 ExitCode;
    ProcessStartInfo ProcessInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    ProcessInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
    ProcessInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
    ProcessInfo.FileName = filePath;
    Process proc = Process.Start(ProcessInfo);
    proc.WaitForExit(Timeout);
    ExitCode = proc.ExitCode;
    proc.Close();
    return ExitCode;
 }

Ok now my batch file;

@ECHO OFF
c:
cd "..\AVG\AVG9\"
avgscana.exe /SCAN="..\learninglounge.com.solar.quarantine\" /REPORT="..\learninglounge.com.solar.antivirus\virusReports\report.txt"

EDIT : I do have fully qualified link to avg exe and directories but have replaced here with .. for purposes of posting to stackoverflow. Sorry if this caused confusion.

So my problem is the reporting side of my batch file. I can double click the batch file and it scans and creates the report no problem. When i run it through my c# i get an exit code of 2; command not recognised. It’s fine if i remove the report part of my batch file. Now obviously this points to write permissions but I have checked that and the impersonated user has write access on the directory. Is there anything Im missing?

Thanks all

Ok well ive done a work around, id rather have saved the report there and then but instead i just catch the standard output from the process and then save to a file + any processing.

Weird one this.
