Hello,
I am looking for a solution to my problem that I want to run system exe(notepad,word,etc.) in my sandbox solution.
Is it possible to run exe in such a way.
Please need your help.
Nope. This is how sandbox solutions work. A sandbox solution is designed specifically to work within the site you are creating it for. It does not allow for external access at all, be it data access to other areas of SharePoint or network drives or to access files outside of the system. If you want to do this, a sandbox solution will not work. The idea behind a sandbox solution is for it to run directly within a separate worker process (SPUCWorkerProcess.exe). The solution allows for complete isolation so a badly designed process doesn’t affect the whole farm. Launching a exe, breaks a sandbox requirement as you are now accessing resources outside of the site.
Please see this for more information on Sandbox Solutions and their capabilities and limitations.
Hope this explains things ok.
David
