Why don't you start with a simple batch file to see if it works on your system. If that works, then you can try calling the EXE from the batch file, slowly migrating to just using the EXE.
I haven't called an EXE directly, but I have several batch and VBS scripts in use to respond to emailed events.

It was a simple piece of code that took all the parameters and save them to the file but again no file was created, here's the code: static void Main(string[] args) { FileInfo t = new FileInfo("redbird.txt"); StreamWriter Tex = t.CreateText(); for (int i=0; i < args.Length; i++) { StreamReader Red = File.OpenText(args[i]); Tex.Write(Red.ReadToEnd()); Tex.WriteLine("Arg[{0}] = [{1}]", i, args[i]); } Tex.Close(); } Would be interested in your views.
