Try this:
In the folder the FileConverter.exe resides:
- Give "Everyone" read/write/execute access (make sure to change any other
user accounts you already have set up for that folder)
Try running it - if it works, you had a permissions issue for that folder,
but I would recommend taking out the "Everyone" account as soon as possible
and figuring out the correct ASPNET or IUSER_[MACHINE_NAME] account(s) that
need permission.
If it doesn't work, do the same for whatever folders this particular
application is accessing - it sounds like you're manipulating files, so
wherever any file reading/writing is being done, give "Everyone" read/write
access to those as well.
If this works, you had a permissions problem with that folder. If not, I'm
sorry that's all I can think of right now.
If that doesn't help you and you have control over the source for this
FileConverter.exe, figure out a way to pull the applicable routines into a
sharable class that you can use in both the FileConverter.exe and your web
app. Again you're going to need read/write permissions to the folder you're
manipulating files in, but at least it takes out the possibility that there's
a problem executing the windows app.

Hello,
I am in serious need of help. I have an ASP.NET application written in C#.
I have a page that processes a file on the web server. The page uses a class
I created and stored in the AppCode directory. In the class method I am
trying to run a program on my web server that will convert the file for me.
Here is a snipit of code:

The problem is that as soon as my code gets to proc.Start I get an 'Access
is Denied' error. I have tried everything I could think of or find on the
web. Could someone please help me out with this?

Thank you,
