Hi Mark,

If the problem is permissions (and like you I'd suspect this also),
you won't get an exception. Instead, the process is probably
displaying an error message in the output stream.

Use the StartInfo property to setup StandardOutput and StandardError
for reading from your code:

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.RedirectStandardError = true;

Start the process then wait for the process to finish:

p.WaitForExit();

Then read the streams and look at what appears. Hopefully you'll find
an access denied message with some additional information.

If you need help tracking down who is getting an access denied message
on what, enable auditing and watch the security log:

HTH,
