Be a professional and do things properly. A C# programmer DOES NOT shell to batch files. Here is the MSDN sample https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc148994(v=vs.100).aspx — , Jul 26 '16 at 05:39

string tempPath = @"C:\Users\jsolanki\Desktop\temp.bat";
string batDir = tempPath;
proc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = batDir;

Check carefully you have set working directory a file and not a directory.

Also print the exception message.
