    Process.Start/ASP.NET under **Vista**

    I am almost afraid to ask this question but under Windows Vista can an
    ASP.NET application launch an interactive UI based process using
    Process.Start(. .)?

    I see various posts that recomment the ASPNET account be granted
    "interactiv e logon" rights. and allowing IIS Admin service to
    interact with the desktop. However under Vista services CANNOT
    interact with desktop, period (and there is no IIS Admin Service
    anyway). There is no ASPNET account on Vista -- how does one grant
    sufficient permissions to NETWORK SERVICE to get this to work?

    Is there a way out?

          Its a long story. I would love to elaborate but its very difficult to
          explain anything coherently without giving you the complete picture
          right from the beginning which would only serve to confuse the
          issues. Think of this as a legacy hurdle with our product.

          For the moment can you tell me if its even possible to launch an UI
          app from an ASP.NET application running under IIS7/Vista?

              I am sure it can be done, but the problem is - the UI app is going to run on
              the webserver, not on the client. Probably nobody will even be logged on to
              see it and dismiss any dialogs, so "not advised".

                      I am. Have you seen applications running on big kiosks that allow
                      patrons to selfcheck items they rent from the library? Those
                      applications cover the entire real estate of the monitor and run
                      forever 24x7. Access to that kiosk is locked out (no keyboards or
                      mouse or such).
