It probably does run the code successfully.

On the server.

When you were testing this, and it worked fine, your client and server were on the same physical machine, so when your server code executed the Process.Start the application started and it all worked fine. When you do it in production, your server is a different physcial machine and Process.Start executed in the code behind runs the process on the computer that executes the "Process.Start()" instruction - not on teh client.

As a result, you can't see it, and are assuming it doesn't work. It does, and you are probably annoying the heck out of your host administrator...

You can't run an application on the Client directly from the Server - security prevents it to stop rogue sites doing anything they want with your PC while you browse.
