WIN10 wbadmin.exe as a C# process

if it is a 64-bit windows and wbadmin.exe is a 32-bit executable, the correct path is

c:\windows\syswow64\wbadmin.exe

in system32 folder there are only 64-bit executables.

Hi Sara,

thanks for the information, but ...
Yes it is 64-Bit, but at c:\windows\syswow64\ is no wbadmin.exe.

The c:\Windows\System32\wbadmin.exe works fine at an Administrator-CMD. I have another place at
C:\Windows\WinSxS\amd64_microsoft-windows-blb-cli-main_31bf3856ad364e35_10.0.10240.16384_none_53554ecf29b30305
but there I get the error
"Im Cache des Ressourcenladeprogramms ist kein MUI-Eintrag geladen." (it is a german system)

The basic problem or question is: What can I do that File.Exist(@"c:\Windows\System32\wbadmin.exe") can see the file, like I can see it at the file-explorer?

Thanks
Andreas

i found the wbadmin.exe in my system32 folder as well. i think you don't need to check existence of the executable by a File.Exist since wbadmin comes with the operation system.

using System.Diagnostics; 

....

Process.Start("wbadmin.exe");

Select allOpen in new window

the operation system should find wbadmin.exe since it is in the standard path.
