Re: Process.Start

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hello Dale

To verify whether that exe is displaying a message box that the interactive
user cannot see, you can use process explorer to look at the call-stack of
each thread in the process. Process Explorer can be downloaded from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx. Run procexp
as admin, configure the windows symbol path, find the process in the
process tree, double-click it, and turn to the Threads tab. You will see
all threads in the list. Double click each thread and you can see their
call stacks. If there are functions like MessageBox in the stack trace, it
means that the app is waiting for the user input in the message box.

Process Monitor is a very power tool to check whether it's some security
issue (e.g. Access Denied when accessing the file system or other
resources) that causes the problem.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx. Process
Monitor can trace all behaviors of applications in file system, registry,
image loading, thread creation, network, etc. The video
http://www.microsoft.com/emea/spotlight/sessionh.aspx?videoid=346
demonstrates the use of process monitor in detail. After you get the log,
you can either analyze it by yourself by focusing on the entries with
"Access Denied" or "XXX not found" results, or send the log file to me.
