Have you inspected the value of Environment.CurrentDirectory? Is it
what you expect it to be? Is Application.exe located in that
directory? Are all the files that application.exe depends on in that
folder? Does the Service have the necessary permissions to execute
that application?

Just a few items to check, good luck.

Thanks Chris...

I've resolved

"Environment.CurrentDirectory" don't work I've replaced the string with

"System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Reflection .Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location)"

Thanks for your interest...
