Hello,
I am trying to create a process on a remote machine. I am able to
successfully do so but i cant get the process to show its window. I can see
it running in Task Manager. I have tried setting the processStartup
parameter to 1, 5 etc. but to no avail. Could someone help please?

Thanks
Vivek

Heres my code:

public bool StartProcessByName1(string ProcessName)

{

string Path = string.Format(@"\\{0}\root\cimv2",SystemName);

ManagementScope ms = new ManagementScope(Path);

ManagementPath ProcessMgmtpath = new ManagementPath( "Win32_Process");

ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass(ms,ProcessMgmtpath,null);

ManagementPath ProcessStartupMgmtpath = new
ManagementPath("Win32_ProcessStartup");

ManagementClass processStartupClass = new
ManagementClass(ms,ProcessStartupMgmtpath,null);

processStartupClass.SetPropertyValue("ShowWindow", 1);

ManagementBaseObject inParams = processClass.GetMethodParameters("Create");

inParams["CommandLine"] = ProcessName;

inParams["ProcessStartupInformation"] = processStartupClass;

ManagementBaseObject ReturnObj =
processClass.InvokeMethod("Create",inParams,null);

return (ReturnObj["returnValue"].ToString() == "0");

}
