vb.net and launching an app from the cmd line

attempting to load a program from command line and keep getting "cannot find file specified".

If i load the below from cmd line it works fine but not when i try in vb.

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\VAppLauncher.exe /launch "Avaya CMS Supervisor R16 -- English 16.1.0.0 R2"

Open in new window

When i do the below, i get the error:

Dim process1 As New Process
        process1.StartInfo.FileName = "VAppLauncher.exe"
        process1.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64\\CCM"
        process1.StartInfo.Arguments = (" /launch Avaya CMS Supervisor R16 -- English 16.1.0.0 R2")
        process1.Start()

Open in new window

Try to put everything on the Same line like

Process.Start("VAppLauncher.exe","/launch Avaya CMS Supervisor R16 -- English 16.1.0.0 R2")

Open in new window

Just in case put the that this no work add the location of the program on the first part of the code like

Process.Start("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\CCM\VAppLauncher.exe","/launch Avaya CMS Supervisor R16 -- English 16.1.0.0 R2")

Open in new window

>>doesnt work, now i get "cannot start application"
Actually that sounds like one or more comments solved your original problem. Now you have a rather different one.
