    You can launch an .exe remotely, but it will *not* be visible to the user who is logged-on to the target computer.

    1. Set the ‘Remote Execution Context’ under ‘Tools > Settings > Remote Execution’ to ‘Elevated token + Interactive’ for ‘Remote process/command’

    2. Create a ‘Remote process/command 1/2’ in BatchPatch under ‘Actions > Execute remote process/command’ with the following syntax:

    -d "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe"

    The -d is a PsExec switch ‘Don’t wait for process to terminate’. If you don’t use -d then BatchPatch will remain ‘Executing’ until the chrome.exe process is terminated on the target, or until the BatchPatchExeSvc/PsExeSvc service is terminated on the target.

    As mentioned previously this will launch the exe on the target computer, but the exe will not be visible to the logged-on user, so it doesn’t really do much for you since I assume you want to launch Chrome so that it is visible to the logged-on user and so that the logged-on user can interact with it.
