Hi Can any one tell me how to run a exectuable by windows service? I tried through process.start(), but no use. I am using Admin user to run this service. I am struck up with this... Thanks for the help in advance.

Services run on their own desktop so if you start a program from service it will start on that desktop and not at the desktop you are looking at :)

Yes, it is clear. Same reply applies here. When starting an executable from service it runs on another desktop.

Try setting the service's
Allow service to interact with desktopoption to true in the services applet. Be warned that this is very bad practice.Cheers, Vıkram.

Ummmm, no. If he sets up his Process object correctly, he can run an external application.

You have to provide a lot more info before we have any hope of assisting you. 1) Can you run the application manually? 2) How are you setting up your Process object?

Thanks, my Georgian friend, I didn't know that. :) Can't figure out the lynch votes though. :confused:
Cheers, Vıkram.
