Of course! It's one of those days.

In the second (the C# source for an asp.net page), I am using 

GACRead.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; To use this,
UseShellExecute must be false, else the error:

System.InvalidOperationException: UseShellExecute must be false when
redirecting I/O.

I get the error:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Cannot find the specified file

If I put the entire command within the FileName (obviously with
UseShellExecute = false;).

Thanks,

Chris
