Not able to run an exe in jenkins pipeline using powershell - powershell

Question

I am trying to execute a process which is written in c# through jenkins pipeline during the build and deployment process.
It is a simple executable which takes 3 arguments, when it gets called from jenkins pipeline using a powershell function it doesn't write any logs which are plenty within the code of this exe, also it does not show anything on the pipeline logs as to what happened to this process. Whereas the logs output is clean before and after the execution of this process i.e. "Started..." & "end" gets printed in the jenkins build log.
When i try to run the same exe on a server directly with the same powershel script it runs perfectly fine. Could you please let me know how can i determine whats going wrong here or how can i make the logs more verbose so i can figure out the root cause.
Here is the code snippet
build-utils.ps1
function disable-utility($workspace) {
#the code here fetches the executable and its supporting libraries from the artifactory location and unzip it on the build agent server.
#below is the call to the executable
Type xmlPath #this prints the whole contents of the xml file which is being used as an input to my exe.
echo "disable exe path exists : $(Test-Path ""C:\Jenkins\workspace\utils\disable.exe"")" // output is TRUE
echo "Started..."
Start-Process -NoNewWindow -Filepath "C:\Jenkins\workspace\utils\disable.exe" -ArgumentList "-f xmlPath 0" #xmlPath is a path to a xml file
echo "end."
}
jenkinsfile
library {
identifier: 'jenkins-library#0.2.14',
retriever: legacySCM{[
$class: 'GitSCM',
userRemoteConfigs: [[
credtialsId: 'BITBUCKET_RW'
url: <htps://gitRepoUrl>
]]
]}
}
def executeStep(String stepName) {
def butil = '.\\build\\build-utils.ps1'
if(fileExists(butil))
{
def status = powershell(returnStatus: true, script: "& { . '${butil}'; ${stepName}; }")
echo status
if(status != 0) {
currentBuild.Result = 'Failure'
error("$StepName failed")
}
}
else
{
error("failed to find the file")
}
}
pipeline {
agent {
docker {
image '<path to the docker image to pull a server with VS2017 build tools>'
lable '<image name>'
reuseNode true
}
}
environment {
#loading the env variables here
}
stages {
stage {
step {
executeStep("disable-utility ${env.workspace}")
}
}
}
}
Thanks a lot in advance !
