Access is denied when trying to open an exe application from a website

Question

In my website, I tried to open a windows application (.exe) upon a button click. But it showing "Access is denied".

Stack trace:

[Win32Exception (0x80004005): Access is denied]
   System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithShellExecuteEx(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) +614
   System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() +56
   ghs.btnTry_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) in c:\inetpub\vhosts\ddrivestudio.com\httpdocs\tanishq\ghs.aspx.cs:19

   System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +36
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +1565

Button click event:

    Process p = new Process();
    p.StartInfo.FileName = Request.MapPath("~/App/App1.exe");
    p.Start();

Can you post your code (button_click)? – Bala Sep 12 '13 at 12:24 — Bala, Sep 12 '13 at 12:24

Hope the following links already have an answer. Reference:
1.Which permissions are required to enable process.start via asp.net application?
2. Access is denied at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo)
