 |
|
Hi !
I try to access external programs from an ISAPI DLL via OLE ( like
Photoshop ).
From what I can see it just does not work :
when I look into task manager I see the program ( Photoshop ) start but it
locks up somehow ( memory usage stys at someabout 8 MB ) - it does not get
back to the ISAPI DLL...
I know that IIS runs with different rights - I configured it to use the
Administrator account... still does not work.
I read that IIS is using some other "desktop" but don't know enough to make
any sense for me of this...
Any ideas ?

um................ why are you trying to use a program like photoshop
through a ISAPI DLL? Its really not meant to be used like that.

it is not only photoshop - but pretty much a sort of "SOAP to OLE bridge" I
have in mind.
I would like to simplify the app design of internal services and have some
sort of "web-service" ( SOAP ) which offers an API for executing the
processing.
Photoshop is just the app I started testing with...

Ah.... ok. IIRC you'll need to guarantee that there is an active desktop for
the programs to be launched in. In this regard you'd want a "server" app
running on startup, not a nt service or isapi dll because they don't have a
desktop to play with.
