Call third party exe from windows service c

I want to call third party .exe from my windows service.How can i do that with c#?

When i run service in debug mode i can call .exe. It is working with "Process.start("path of .exe")" on service start.

But when i create setup project for installing service , .exe is not called on service start.

Hi @Priyanka!

The reason this is not working is probably that you are using Windows Vista or later. This is not working because you are trying to execute this from a Windows Service and not from a Windows Application. Creating a standard windows application instead of a service should solve this problem. I have mentioned a code for your reference: 

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(@"c:\myprogram.exe");
info.UseShellExecute = false;
info.RedirectStandardError = true;
info.RedirectStandardInput = true;
info.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
info.CreateNoWindow = true;
info.ErrorDialog = false;
info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;

Process process = Process.Start(info);

But If i want to call it from windows service only then what should i do?
When you ran your command, did you check the "Allow to interact with the Desktop" option in Windows Service property?
