Hi Laksmi Please try below code in the windows service to pass argument to the EXE through Windows service. If you want to schedule Windows service then try for Winodws Scheduler (It comes with OS) instead of Windows service. CODE ========================= Dim myProcess As Process = Nothing Try myProcess = Process.Start(EXE path pass arguments here) myProcess.WaitForExit() Catch ex As Exception If Not myProcess Is Nothing Then myProcess.Close() End If Finally If Not myProcess Is Nothing Then myProcess.Close() End If Dim pProcess() As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(Name of EXE) If Not pProcess Is Nothing Then If pProcess.Length > 0 Then For Each p As Process In pProcess p.Kill() Next End If End If End Try
