Cant Open External Process From CLR

Hi,


I am trying to print a PDF via a stored procedure in SQL Server 2005 using c#

I first wrote a stand alone version which works perfectly however after porting it into SQL server the program no longer works

Went back to basics and just tried to open notepad from standalone and from within CLR - again works until I put code into SQL Server DB

Trouble is that it seems to run ok - prints lines to console etc... but the notepad application doesnt start up - there are no errors so really struggling to find out why this might be

Anyone have any ideas, had similar issues?? - Only thing I can think of is a permissions/credentials issue of some kind but again dont have any errors???

I have created the dll file and assembly successfully (using unsafe mode)

Thanks in advance

Code sample below:
.
.
.

executable = "notepad.exe";

ProcessStartInfo starter = new ProcessStartInfo(executable, null);

starter.CreateNoWindow = true;

starter.RedirectStandardOutput = true;

starter.UseShellExecute = false;

Process process = new Process();

process.StartInfo = starter;



process.Start();
.
