title: Running an executable under IIS 8 64-bit?
body: <p>I have developed a web application that requires an .exe to be run server side to perform certain tasks. I have this working great under Visual Studio's built in web server however upon moving it across to IIS 8 (64-bit) it fails as the .exe is not run.</p>
  
  <p>I understand that by default the Application Pool runs under a user account that cannot generate desktop windows therefore I've created an account on the server machine for the application to run as but this has had no effect.</p>
  
  <p>I have also checked "Edit Feature Permissions" under the "Handler Mappings" section and ensured that it has the "Execute" permission.</p>
  
  <p>This was simple under IIS 6, what has changed in IIS7/8 (64-bit)? If it helps my application is .NET based and the executable is run using "Process.Start"?</p>
