We are testing Doc2Any on our server, however, we keep getting the same error, either running on our server in .NET or in a PC thru VB:
"The system cannot find the file specified"
This is the code we are using on our server ASPX:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(EXEFile & " " & DOCFile & " " & PDFFile)
Where:
- EXEFile = "C:\doc2any\doc2any.exe"
- DOCFile = "C:\myDir\mySubDir\myDoc.rtf"
- PDFFile = "C:\myDir\mySubDir\myDoc.pdf"
Are we lacking something here?
Thanks very much for any light you might give us here!

Thanks very much for your answer!
However, the basic problem was not of permissions since we really need to
run it without office, so we are using the "-useoffice 0" parameter.
The real problem is that the "...process.start(" .NET instruccion must use
2 parameters, in which the firts is the Path & Name of the exe file to run,
and the second parameter is for any arguments needed in the command line.
Therefore, the real use for doc2any in .NET should be:
System.diagnostics.process.start("C:\doc2any\doc2any.exe", "-useoffice 0
C:\MyDir\MyDoc.rtf C:\MyDir\MyDoc.pdf")
Hope this help future clients!
Thanks very much!
