Trouble spawning a console app from a Windows Service

[EDN Admin]

Hi,
I am trying to spawn an in-house made console application from a Windows Service.

I am spawning the process as follows, but currently I get the following exception written to the Windows 7 event viewer:
Application: AspexFileXfeService.exe Framework Version: v4.0.30319 Description:
<br/>
The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception. Exception Info: <br/>

Thread t = new Thread(delegate()
{
RunDataUploader(uploaderEXEPath, somePath);
});
t.Start();

//functio that spawns application
void RunDataUploader(string UploaderEXE, string RunPath)
{
string RunPath = @"""" + RunPath + @"""";
//Process.Start(@"C:tempDebugDataUploaderConsole.exe", RunPath);
using (System.Diagnostics.Process process = new System.Diagnostics.Process())
{
process.StartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(UploaderEXE);
process.StartInfo.Arguments = @"""" + RunPath + @"""";
process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
process.StartInfo.ErrorDialog = false;
//process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
//process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
//process.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
process.StartInfo.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized;
process.Start();
}
}[/code]
Note I dont care what the exit code is from the process and I dont need to wait for the application to complete.
Any help here would be appreciated.
