Hi Ashok,

Did The app.exe you mention (Shell "C:\app.exe") have a GUI( like
notepad.exe)? If so, you may try to monitor the process in the windows task
manager( you may open it by press Ctrl+Alt+Del ,select tast manager) to see
if the app.exe exist.
If it exist, you may follow the steps below to modify the lauching user
option.

1. On the server computer, click the Start button, and then select Run. In
the Run dialog box, type Dcomcnfg, and then click OK. You need to have
Administrator rights to be able to run Dcomcnfg.

2. Navigate to Console Root-->Component Services-->Computers-->My
Computer-->DCOM Config--><Application name>, then open the properties
dialog pressing the mouse right button on the item.(<Application name>is
the name of your DCOM server)

3.Select the Identity tab, check the interactive user option, click OK to
close the Server's Properties dialog box, and then click OK again to close
Dcomcnfg. As you can see, the test server uses all of the default settings.
When deploying your own servers, you should define settings specific to
your application. All custom settings take precedence over the default ones.

5. Press OK to save the setting, and run you client program to see if it
works,i.e. if your GUI app.exe works.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,
