    <p>I'm building a project that will allow a user to upload a video to the server and the server will encode the video in certain formats. Once the upload is done, a vbs script should execute to do the things I need it to do. </p> <p>I'm having a really difficult time with getting the script to run on the server, though. When debugging in VS2012 on the server itself, I can get this to work fine. However, when I deploy it and run the same code, it doesn't work.</p> <p>I tried taking a step back and I'm attempting to get ANY program to execute, but it's not working. Here is my code that I'm running to try and open notepad after a file is uploaded:</p> <pre><code>//file is saved try { ProcessStartInfo psi = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe"); Process proc = new Process(); proc.StartInfo = psi; proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe"; bool didItStart = proc.Start(); } catch(Exception ex) { using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:\test\log.txt")) { file.WriteLine(ex.InnerException + " " + ex); } } </code></pre> <p>This doesn't throw any errors, nothing is written to the log file. Nothing happens. I've been googling for a while and have found and tried a bunch of things which haven't worked, including <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xh507fc5%28v=vs.100%29.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">impersonation</a>, changing the permissions on the folder that the script was in and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8414514/iis7-does-not-start-my-exe-file-by-process-start">changing the permission of the folder the scripts are in to include the IIS user </a> and nothing has worked. </p> <p>Why isn't this working?</p>

    3. COIn task manager, do you see "notepad.exe" processes get created? The programs will not be launched within your user session so you will not see the window appear.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
