Nice post. Sorry to say that I have no idea, but after reading this discussion, I know that web service need to start the process. I hosted my website on Mywindowshosting.com,which provides hosting services. Continue discussion so that those who have no idea can get something.

Hi,
This is because the process you are executing from web service will not start in the same context/same rights as the client browser, and may not have access like user machine.
You have to change the Process Model Settings from IIS i.e. change Application Pool identity of your hosted application to "LocalSystem" because it has high-level user rights.
Just follow these steps:
Open IIS managerIn IIS Manager==> Click on Application Pool==> Select your Application Pool==> Right click and goto Advanced Settings==> Click on Identity (Bydefault ApplicationPoolIdentity is set)==> Change it to "LocalSystem".
Please find attached image.

why you need web service then, just create a windows service and call desired exe. you can call windows service from asp.net directly
use 'ServiceController ' class to call it.
see below snippet
hope it helps

use 'ServiceController ' class to call it.
see below snippet
public static void StartService(string serviceName, int timeoutMilliseconds)
{
ServiceController service = new ServiceController(serviceName);
try
{
TimeSpan timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(timeoutMilliseconds);
service.Start();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, timeout);
}
catch
{
// ...
}
}
hope it helps
Thanks
