Background update

[Cyaankali]

i'm working on some sort of inventory program. It's very simple but i'm having some problems. It actually has 3 parts.

1.service that will be installed on all workstations that is set to run every few hours. This service starts an exe stored on the workstation.
2.This exe checks if there are updates for a third program. If there is an update he should copy the correct version to a location on the workstation and start it.
3.actual program that gathers general information about the workstation and stores it in a DB.
If i run the programs seperately everything works. If I run 2 then he copies the file and starts 3 without problem. But when I try the complete flow it fails. My feeling is that 2 cannot connect to the remote directory because its running in the background.

If I change my service so that he runs 3 instead of 2 then the inventory happens.

I hope this stil makes sense to you. Below you can find the code for step 2. The step that should check for an update and start the inventoryprogram. If someone could set me in the right direction that would be great. Have been googling for hours. The part Open_Remote_Connection is one I found online but it doesn't solve my problem. When i debug it it's states that the directory doesn't exists but it does.
