I'm working on you first asp.net project and its just a conversion of an
existing vb.net project I have.
I am trying to have the user push a button and execute a program from a
share on the network.
I get "the system cannot find the file specified", but the file is there and
works fine from a gui..
Here is the sun that is not working
Private Sub Button1_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button1.Click
Dim CompName
Dim program As New Process
program.StartIn fo.FileName = "\\sms13\remote $\remote.exe"
program.StartIn fo.Arguments = " 2 " & " \\" & CompName & "\"
program.Start()
Thanks for any help! 6 2398

Try setting the 'Filename' property with a fully qualified filename.
(By using Server.MapPath( ) for example). I suspect it is looking in
your Windows directory to find the file.

Thanks for the response..
The file is located on a server that is remote to the Webserver and I want
the file to launch on the client. Its a small app.
I'm not sure how server.mappath would help.

You want the file to be executed on the client? The way you have
things set up is definitely not the way to go if that's the case.
Executing .exe's on a client's machine is a huge problem. (Imagine the
security risk!) You'll need to use ActiveX or something similar to do
what you're doing.
Roger
Oh... I moved the file to the server and changed the path and now it
launches fine, but as you said it runs on the server
This is for an internal site of our company. The site is in the trusted
sites of the browsers that are using the site, so security should not be an
issue. There's not a VB command I can use?

No. To run an executable on a client's machine. You would first have
to load it onto the client's machine. Then execute it.
However, if the executable is .NET (managed) code, you could have a
link that points to the exe. Something like:
<a href="http://secureinternald omain.com/myapp.exe">Run this App</a>
This is how a "Smart Client" application would run on a client
machine. There is lots of info on msdn.com if this is what you're
after.
Roger
Its actually a Piece of SMS2003. The remote Gui. copies of it are located
on the client and on our network in general.. I can point to either..
Its not .net managed code, but I could make a virtual directory point to it.
Other than executing the client I have an example webpage from someone who
does exactly what I want to do, but its in asp, not asp.net so unless I can
figure out how to call his page and send values to it, I would have to
rewrite my entire web app using asp.
The Exe I want to execute is in exactly the same place on every client, so I
hope that makes it easier.
Can you point me to where on MSDN they discuss launching apps on the client.
I can't find it.. Thank you for all the help.

Hello,
I am having some sort of security issue with my code. When I change a

When I run it in ASP.NET, I get a "file not found" exception, even though
