    EXE file not running under windows 2003 server

    Hi All

    I have a Tool that has an EXE file that is part of its resources, which is compiled in the tool. when the tool runs it will extract the EXE to a local folder that is being created by the tool and it will call the EXE file.

    When the EXE is called by the Tool it will not run. but if I run the EXE manualy it works fine. I don't see anything in the log file as permission issues. Not sure why its not running, eventhough the tool can created folders, Log file, delete files, stop and start services no problem.

    Now the EXE file job is to edit local policy, when I ran it manually it works well, but when running it within the tool it doesn't work. The same tool if I run it on a desktop, 2000, XP, Vista it works well no issues.

    Any ideas or suggesttions?

    Thanks

    How are you calling the tool? Shell? ShellExecute? CreateProcess? Is the tool a command line tool or a windowed program? Are you sure the tool isn't running in the background?
