Running PhantomJs in java - phantomjs

Question

I'm trying to run phantomjs in my program, below is the command I'm running.
Process exec = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{
"C:/Users/buddy/Desktop/phantomjs-1.9.7-windows",
"-c",
"phantomjs "
+ pipedCommand + " "
+ size + " "
+ conversion.getConversionTarget().extension() + " "
+ this.local.getId()});
and I'm getting exception when I run: (But above code runs for Linux)
I have downloaded phantomjs windows version and its in the following path: C:/Users/buddy/Desktop/phantomjs-1.9.7-windows
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:/Users/buddy/Desktop/phantomjs-1.9.7-windows": CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied.

I believe you need to run it from a cmd process... not sure if it helps but how I did it was to create a shellscript file with contents similar to below
echo "- Processing : Creating screenshot image from $1"
'C:\software\phantomjs' 'C:\software\rasterize.js' http://$1 $2
and then within the java code
// Create process command
String command = "cmd /c " + imageScriptLocation + " " + cleanUrl + " " + imgLocation
// Execute the process
Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
p = rt.exec(command);
// Retrieve any errors from the script
InputStream is = p.getInputStream();
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
logger.debug("Image Script: " + line);
}
// Wait for the process to complete and the images to be generated
p.waitFor();
if you just want to use your approach above though, the below should work...
Process exec = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[]{
"cmd",
"/c",
"phantomjs "
+ pipedCommand + " "
+ size + " "
+ conversion.getConversionTarget().extension() + " "
+ this.local.getId()});

You can run PhantomJS using Selenium.
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
String path = "Path to PhantomJS Binary";
caps.setCapability(PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_EXECUTABLE_PATH_PROPERTY, path);
WebDriver driver = new PhantomJSDriver(caps);
