Description :

We can run the exe files using the "System.Diagnostics.Process"

Following is the code for run the exe "WindowsMediaPlayer"


System.Diagnostics.Process MyProcess = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
MyProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Request.MapPath("~/"); 
MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = Request.MapPath("WindowsMediaPlayer.exe"); 
MyProcess.Start();

Code Explanation

1. Create An instance of the Process class responsible for starting the newly process.
2. Set the directory where the file resides
3. Set the filename name of the file you want to open
4. Start the process

We can open the application using the application exe



ProcessStartInfo MyProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
MyProcessStartInfo.FileName = @"c:\WINDOWS\system32\notepad.exe";
MyProcessStartInfo.Arguments = @"c:\MyText.txt";
Process.Start(processStartInfo);

In the above code we can open the MyText.txt file using the notepad.exe

Thanks
