Hi,
I'm running Win8.1 and am building a .NET4.5 windows service in C#. When executing doc2pdf from the command line it all works fine. With for example this string:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\docPrint Pro v6.0\doc2pdf.exe" -i "C:\1Temp\635296083729535451.xml.html" -o "C:\1Temp\635296083729535451.xml_stylesheet.tif" -b 1 -c 4 -r 300
But when executing the same code from the windows service I see that the process is started in the TaskManager but it doesn't do anything. It keeps hanging there forever without doing anything at all for hours and hours :).
Would you have any idea what the problem could be? My code looks as follows:
Interaction.Shell(doc2PdfArguments, AppWinStyle.Hide, true, -1);
The variable doc2PdfArguments is the same string as entered before.
Any help is truly appreciated.
Thanks!

You can use following ASP code to call any EXE or MS Office without any permission problem,
<%
set VeryPDFCom = Server.CreateObject("VeryPDFCom.RunCmd")
dim nRetVal, bRet
bRet = VeryPDFCom.RunCmd("C:\windows\notepad.exe", 5, 0)
strRet = VeryPDFCom.RunCmd2("cmd /c dir C:\", 5)
Response.Write strRet & vbCrlf
%>
