Executing Application from Windows Service

[Rajeev Ramanujan]

Hi All,

I'm trying to execute a standalone application written in VB .Net using
a windows service developed using VB .Net. But the service is not able to
execute the application.

How to make the application execute from the Windows Service that i
wrote? I tried using the SHELL command to execute the application from the
service as shown below.

Shell("c:\temp\WindowsApplication2.exe", AppWinStyle.Hide)

Thanks in advance

well you could try this one

Imports System.Diagnostics

Public Module modmain

Sub Main()

Dim NewProcess as Process = new Process

NewProcess.Start("C:\MyApplication.exe")

End Sub

End Module

the above code is the counterpart of the shellexecute api
