strang, isn't it?

[DAMAR]

Hello
I have (strange for me) problem. I have developed an application , let's say
MyApp.exe. This is win-forms application. It has its own configuration file,
generated of course by VS.NET and called MyApp.exe.confi g.
I put a path to this application into registry, that the app starts when
windows will start. A problem is that I have an error when the app starts -
..exe.config could not be found. But If I start this app manually everythig
works fine
What could be a problem? Maybe I should modify the registry entry and pass
the config file as a parameter?
Thanks for any suggestions

Please post the complete text of the error message.

I assume that this is a console application, since you are starting it when
Windows starts. Did you create this as a service?

If not, first answer "why not?" so I can understand your constraints and
then please tell me the location in the registry that you are using to
denote you want the app to start on start-up (so I can repro the problem.
There's more than one registry setting that can be used like this).

If possible, can you post a small but complete app that recreates this
problem?

Hello
Here is the error message :
"An unhandled exception has occured in your application.... . .Config file
APP.exe.config cannot be read successfully due to exception:
System.IO.FileN otFoundExceptio n..."

But it is only if I start this app not "manually" ,here is the code:

Process myProcess = new Process();
myProcess.Start Info.FileName=" C:\\App.exe";
myProcess.Start ();

If I start it from explorer everything is all right. So what am I doing
wrong here?

You may want to set the working directory in the start info structure, and
set UseShellExecute to Off.
