Execution of an Executable File in a Seperate Process

[belgi]

Hi,

I have a working windows service,it is looking for files
on the disk
and when some of the files are cupdated it calls an
executable. But it
takes a lot of time(about 10 minutes) to run the
executable.So while
that executable is running,if I try to stop the windows
service while
the executable(MYPR OGRAM.EXE) is running,it will wait for
a time(about
20 seconds) for the main windows thread to abort.If it
does not finish
its work, the service process is killed AUTOMATICALLY and
tells
something like "the service did not stop ina timely
fashion".
As the windows service will never be able to finish its
work under a
minute,
my service always is stooped by WINDOWS and got the
message "the
service did not stop ina timely fashion".

I need a asynchronous way to execute the MYPROGRAM.EXE in
a different
process than the windows service process so that even if
the service
stops,if MYPROGRAM.EXE will continue to run..

One way to do is to call a web service method
asynchronously which
executes MYPROGRAM.EXE ...So the .NET code for the
windows service
will not suspend when it calls the windows service
method. and will
stop ina timely fashion when it is signaled. But I think
there should
be better ways of implementing it without using IIS.

I'll appreciate very much if you help...
