how to run an external win application inside NAV 2009 rtc

hi.

i have created a windows application using vb.net and i want to run the .exe file from inside navision rtc. ive created a simple codeunit that uses WSHshell automation and it runs fine if i try to open notepad or calc. but when i tried to open my custom winapp, it gives me an error:

This message is for C/AL programmers:

An exception was raised in method Run. The OLE control or Automation server has returned error (HRESULT) -2147352567.
The component did not provide the exception description.

what might be the reason for this?

thanks

CREATE(WSHShell);
  WinStyle := 1;
  WSHShell.CurrentDirectory := 'D:\Jr\';
  WSHShell.Run('"D:\Jr\Text Parser.exe"',WinStyle);
  CLEAR(WSHShell);

for some reason, it worked for the first time and now it wont run anymore. im not getting the error message but the thing is, the app is running (on task manager) but its not appearing on my screen. and i noticed that it's running on network service based on task manager. i dont even know if that is significant.

what may be the problem?
