Problem of invoking a command line from ASP.NET 2.0?

[Speech Lover]

Hi,

First of all thanks for any response!
I want to start a command line command from C# 2.0.
Since .net 2.0 provides a way to specify a particular credential in
ProcessStartInfo object to run the command line, I am able to impersonate a
particular user to run this command.

However, no matter how simple the command is, say invoking Notepad.exe, I
always got the following error messages:



System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception was unhandled
Message="The parameter is incorrect"
Source="System"
ErrorCode=-2147467259

Thank you very much for your response.

Your tip is very helpful. I got it working by specifying a complete path to
the application.

In .Net 1.1 the FileName doesn't need to be a complete path as long as
WorkingDirectory is specified.
This is different in .Net 2.0.

I really appreciate your sincere help!
