Can't start program by PsExec on windows server 2003 64-bit
- by Stan
I ran PsExec on a windows server 2003 32-bit machine to remotely launch a program on a windows server 2003 64-bit machine. The program is a win32 program with dependency to
msvcr80.dll, msvcp80.dll, msjava.dll, PocoFoundation.dll, PocoNet.dll.
The process will freeze and looks like fail to start the user interface.
However, the program was running fine if I log on that 64-bit machine and double click on it. What could be wrong with using PsExec to launch it? I use process explorer but couldn't find anything. Thanks.
EDIT:
An update, this issue is actually happening to every program that launch by psexec on that host.
For example, if try to use psexec to launch notepad.exe, I can see the process name (notepad.exe) in task manager, and notepad tab on taskbar. But when click on notepad tab, the window won't show up. It looks like the application stuck in the middle of launching process.
