Simple alert engine can run correctly psexec.exe (Can play sound on remote PC). It's execute external program from parent explorer.exe.
Adv. alert engine execute external program from itself, not from explorer.exe

I have the same problem running a batch file. The application test works OK but it doesn't launch automatically in response to an alert. I can see from task manager that it doesn't even launch. Help!
