Using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start
I have developed a console application that launches a variety of other applications using System.Diagnostics.Process
Dim myProcess As Process = System.Diagnostics.Process
myProcess.WaitForExit()
For most of the applications it launches, this works fine. However, other applications do not run until immediately after I close the console window. (It will hang indefinitely if I leave it open.) This is not acceptable because, depending on the input given to the program, I may need to spawn other processes before terminating the console app. How can I fix the Process.Start call so these other pesky apps will launch without having to first close the console window?
Thanks in advance for your help.

How would you recommend spawning a new thread for each process?
Just the way you are doing just get rid of the 'waitforexit' code.
Shell("C:/Application.exe"
