SQL Service Broker External Activator not launching exe

Question

I need to get SSB External Activation to launch an exe off of a db trigger. With the bits of information available on the net I have managed to get almost everything working perfectly. I can send messages to the queue and I can read messages off the queue using a C# app that continuously polls the db. But I need the External Activator to actually launch my exe. This is for work and I'm stuck so any help is greatly appreciated!

External Activator Log file: Here

External Activator Config file: Here

Status' of Queues (picture): Here

Thanks!

Edit: SQL Code:

You have to be very careful on forming the message and sending it to the queue as well as win-service configuration has to be set properly.
