[RESOLVED] Can't get .Bat file to run properly

[szlamany]

I've got a web service that creates a .BAT file - that batch file does this

set path=D:\reporting\
amc rpt/printers

This runs an app in that folder called AMC.exe

It's supposed to create an AMC.log file - it does not.

But when I run that .BAT file from windows itself it does create the AMC.log file...

I've tried every security and sharing combination possible.

Here is the code of the webservice - in case that all didn't make any sense!!

    <WebMethod()> _
    <ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat:=ResponseFormat.Json, UseHttpGet:=False)> _
    Public Function ReportService(ByVal fromwho As String, ByVal selection As IList(Of String), ByVal username As String) As String

        Dim strReportFolder = System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings("reportfolder")
        Dim strBatFile = Path.Combine(strReportFolder, "Report.bat")

        Using fileWrtr = New StreamWriter(strBatFile, False)
            fileWrtr.WriteLine("set path=" & strReportFolder & "\")
            fileWrtr.WriteLine("amc rpt/printers")
            fileWrtr.Close()
        End Using

        Process.Start(strBatFile)

        Dim JsonMaker As JsonWriter = New JsonWriter

        With JsonMaker
            .StartObject()
            .NewObject("yo", "dawg...")
            .EndObject()
        End With

        Return JsonMaker.GetJson()
    End Function

Wow - my fault

It was creating the log file in this folder...

C:\Users\Steve\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE

My .bat file was not setting the DIRECTORY properly...

oops
