I'm trying to create a service that executes an application on certain interval. The service itself is created and runs on the intervals specified, however, it is not executing the other program.

I tried the following VB.NET code to run another application from within the service, but to no avail...

Shell(EXEFILE)
and
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(EXEFILE)

Where EXEFILE is the path of my executable...

Does anyone have any ideas on how i can run the executable from within the service?

thanks.

Chris
