Using shell to run program

shell from vb.net

just like this shell(c:\myapp\myapp.exe) instead of looking in c:\myapp for its required files it looks it the local directory of the program executing it.

forgot the quotes around it but they are there in my program

Are you looking for Application.StartupPath?

Bob

ok here is the exact situation...

I have one program... c:\test\test.exe that is using shell("c:\myapp\myapp.exe") to run myapp.exe but when myapp.exe runs it is looking for all of its required files in c:\test\ instead of c:\myapp\ like it would if you double clicked and ran it.  I need a way to tell it to read it from tis root, not the root of the application that is calling it.

procMain.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "c:\myapp\"
procMain.Start("c:\myapp\myapp.exe")

it still will not work.

I am curious why that didn't work.  I would have thought it was a good solution.  What happens when it doesn't work?  Errors?  Incorrect results?

Bob

still looks in the current applications folder for its required files

C#.net

because it is the application I need to launch....
