run .exe from web service - looking for ideas

Hello everyone, I am trying to accomplish something, and the way I had

intended is not working out, so I am looking for ideas.

Here is what I am trying to accomplish.  I must preface this by saying

that I am new to iis and iis security.

I have a .exe that must stay on the server.  I would like people to be

able to run this .exe with specified parameters/switches without

interacting directly with the server.

I had thought to use a web service to accomplish this, but I am running

into permission problems.  Here is my web service; if it helps to

explain (I have tried both versions):

<WebMethod(MessageName:="Unsigned")> _

Public Overloads Function Encrypt(ByVal a_strEncryptKey As String,

_

ByVal a_strDestPath As String, _

ByVal a_strFilePath As String) As String

Dim strReturn As String

Dim objProcess As Process

Dim objProcessInfo As ProcessStartInfo

Try

objProcess = New Process()

objProcessInfo = New ProcessStartInfo("pgp", "-ea """ +

a_strFilePath + """ """ + a_strEncryptKey + """ -z secretkey")

objProcess.StartInfo = objProcessInfo

objProcess.EnableRaisingEvents = True

objProcess.Start()

objProcess.WaitForExit()

Catch ex As Exception

strReturn = ex.ToString

End Try

Return strReturn

End Function

AND

<WebMethod(MessageName:="Unsigned")> _

Public Overloads Function Encrypt(ByVal a_strEncryptKey As String,

_

ByVal a_strDestPath As String, _

ByVal a_strFilePath As String) As String

Dim strReturn As String

Dim objProcess As Process

Dim objProcessInfo As ProcessStartInfo

Try

objProcess = New Process()

objProcessInfo = New ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe")

objProcessInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True

objProcessInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True

objProcessInfo.UseShellExecute = False

objProcess = Process.Start(objProcessInfo)

objProcess.StandardInput.WriteLine("pg... -ea """ +

a_strFilePath + """ """ + a_strEncryptKey + """ -z secretkey")

objProcess.StandardInput.WriteLine("ex...

strReturn = objProcess.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd

Catch ex As Exception

strReturn = ex.ToString

End Try

Return strReturn

End Function

It works if I try these in a windows application, that's why I

believe the problem to be permissions related.  I have tried mucking

with the security on the pgp.exe file, the .net framework configuration

thingy, and I'm sure other permissions settings.  Not really knowing

what I'm doing makes it a frustrating 'shotgun approach' (hoping

something will work).

So now, I am looking for any suggestions on how to make the web service

work or a better way to accomplish this.  I hope this makes sense; my

head is a little sore from banging it against the keyboard :)

Thank you for any help.

Have a great night!
