System Requirements

• Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 or later (freely available here)
• Asp.net 1.1 or later

Configuration

Before start using MV Executer you need to perform two tasks:

• Edit the MV Executer service configuration file to set the IPC file location
• Change the MV Executer service Log on account

MV Executer service configuration file

For simplicity all configuration options for the MV Executer service are set by editing the file MV Executer.exe.config, that is located in the software installation folder (it can be accessed also from Start > All Programs> MV Executer > MV Executer configuration file. (Note: after editing the file, it is necessary to restart the MV Executer service so that the new configuration becomes effective. Eventual problems or notifications are visible in the System Event Viewer - Application section).

TheMV Executer.exe.config file is an XML file, basically you only need to edit the inter-process communication file location, to reflect a folder on which your running asp.net account has write/modify permissions, on line 11:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
    <configSections>
        <sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" >
            <section name="MV_Executer___.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
        </sectionGroup>
    </configSections>
    <applicationSettings>
        <MV_Executer___.Properties.Settings>
            <setting name="CommandFile" serializeAs="String">
                <value>c:\aspnet_writable_folder\MVExecuterIPC.txt</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="DEBUG_LEVEL" serializeAs="String">
                <value>3</value>
            </setting>
            <setting name="CommandSeparator" serializeAs="String">
                <value>|||</value>
            </setting>
        </MV_Executer___.Properties.Settings>
    </applicationSettings>
</configuration>

Change the MV Executer service Log on account

To perform this task, do

• Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services;
• Locate MV Executer, then double click on it;
• On the opened window go to Log On tab, then check "This account" and insert your administrator (or preferred other user) username and password;
• Click Apply
• Go to General tab, and click on Start button.

Usage on your asp.net pages

To use MV Executer in your asp.net pages:

• Be sure that the MV Executer service is running and correctly configured
• Copy MVPrivilegedExecuter.dll file into your webserver bin directory (usually <webserver_root_directory>\bin)
• Follow the reference below:

MVPrivilegedExecuter.dll reference

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Assembly Name="MVPrivilegedExecuter" %> 

<%

string s;

if (! MV.MVPrivilegedExecuter.Execute(
	@"c:\aspnet_writable_folder\MVExecuterIPC.txt", "notepad.exe", "", out s
    )
	)
{
    Response.Write("Error invoking MV Executer: " + s);
}

%>

That’s it! Let me know if you have found it somewhat useful.
