Process.Start/ASP.NET under **Vista**

Dilip

I am almost afraid to ask this question but under Windows Vista can an
ASP.NET application launch an interactive UI based process using
Process.Start(. .)?

I see various posts that recomment the ASPNET account be granted
"interactiv e logon" rights. and allowing IIS Admin service to
interact with the desktop. However under Vista services CANNOT
interact with desktop, period (and there is no IIS Admin Service
anyway). There is no ASPNET account on Vista -- how does one grant
sufficient permissions to NETWORK SERVICE to get this to work?

Is there a way out?

Its a long story. I would love to elaborate but its very difficult to
explain anything coherently without giving you the complete picture
right from the beginning which would only serve to confuse the
issues. Think of this as a legacy hurdle with our product.

For the moment can you tell me if its even possible to launch an UI
app from an ASP.NET application running under IIS7/Vista?

I am sure it can be done, but the problem is - the UI app is going to run on
the webserver, not on the client. Probably nobody will even be logged on to
see it and dismiss any dialogs, so "not advised".

I am. Have you seen applications running on big kiosks that allow
patrons to selfcheck items they rent from the library? Those
applications cover the entire real estate of the monitor and run
forever 24x7. Access to that kiosk is locked out (no keyboards or
mouse or such).
