I have a server with a bunch of installers on it. However my program stops when I attempt to initiate connection to the server. 

Process.Start(@"\\{Server ip}\Software_Depot\Installers_Master\Snagit\v2019\snagit.exe");

What I'm trying to do here is initiate the installation of snagit.exe from our server.

    So... Can you explain why you believe the error should not happen? I.e. what you get when you try the same from CMD? – Alexei Levenkov May 11 '19 at 05:42
  • I am able to ping the server just fine. and am able to connect to it no problem. – Daniel Bell May 11 '19 at 05:44

    There is almost no correlation between ICMP and SMB... So what you get when you run "\\{Server ip}\Software_Depot\Installers_Master\Snagit\v2019\snagit.exe" from CMD on the same machine your program fails? (make sure to use exactly the same command as you would run from code - no cheating with picking one that you *feel* would run from code) – Alexei Levenkov May 11 '19 at 05:50
  • It would be funny if he is using impersonation in the program – mahlatse May 11 '19 at 07:31

Check the permissions of the elevated user that’s being used. If it’s a local admin account, it might not have permissions to the network share. You could either add a “net use .... domain-user password” or use a domain account to launch your .net app.
