Unhandeled exception in application

I have been working on a code that will grab the userName from the local machine and place it in a log file and start a .exe if the username has not been recoreded into the log file. I was able to run the code on my local machine, but when I put it on the server and run it I am given an error that reads:

"Unhandeled exception has occurred in your applications"

                    using (TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(stream))
                    {
                        //writer.Write("");
                        writer.Write(userName);

                Process.Start(TrackIT);
                Application.Exit();
            }        
        }
    }
 }

The exception is being thrown because the process can't find the following network path:

\\tkahd-nti-1\TrackIt\Audit32.exe

The most likely cause is that the user account that the application is running under doesn't have access to that directory.

From your comments below it seems that the app is running using the permissions of the user who is logging on. You would need to grant anyone who might login read-only access to the "Audit32.exe" application.

However you don't need your own application to do this. If you open "Local Security Policy" from "administrative tools" (usually in control panel) you can open up the Local Policies --> User Rights Assignment folder from the tree view on the left and then change the "Log on locally" and "deny logon locally" settings to allow/deny login to individual users or groups of user. but be careful not to lock yourself out of the machine.

Try fully trusting the share...
