Executing a .bat file from ASP.NET / VB.NET on the server - asp.net

Question

I'm trying to execute a batch file, for testing purposes it's called -> test.bat
the location of the file is in a Folder named scripts.
Following have I tried:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Server.MapPath("Scripts/test.bat"))
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C://......Scripts/test.bat"))
Dim batDir As String = Server.MapPath("C://...../Scripts/") 'And with String format()
proc = New Process()
proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = batDir
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "test.bat"
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = False 'Don't know what this is, copied it from somewhere.
proc.Start()
proc.WaitForExit()
And I don't get any exception.
Edit 1:
My test.bat should create a folder on the Desktop (Testing purposes).

Could it be a Authentication problem?

Answer 1

Try to add the execution permission to the IIS = "APPPOOL\DefaultAppPool" User and now your folder should be able to be created successfully.
