open a VB6 app in a vb.net web form 1

[ynnepztem]

How can I open a VB6 app in a vb.net web form? I have a VB6 application that will accept a parameter that I need to open with a VB.NET Web Form. I tried using Shell("\\ServerName\Folder\ApplicationName.exe ParameterValue") with no luck.
Can anybody help.

Thanks

Microsoft may be stopping you from running any exe's. Could this be it?

I could be wrong, it seems like a good choice.
Or, is a relitive path vs. real path issue?

Does the same thing happen when you start it as a process? e.g.

Dim MyProcess As New System.Diagnostics.Process
MyProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = True
MyProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
MyProcess.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\Temp\"
MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "MyFile.exe"
MyProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "MyParameter"
MyProcess.Start()
