Using system diagnostics process

Hello. I am trying to open a .EXE file with the
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(some file path .exe) 
command. It works for most programs and apps but for others programs I get a warning message box
"WIN_IMPROPER_Q UIT_BODY" with Yes,No,Cancel option. When I click Yes or No I get an error "Error during initialization: some blah blah file not found".

When I refer to the shortcut of the program Im trying to run it actually works and opens the app/program but I cant seem to open it when refering to the file straight from its installed directory. I get the impression that when running the file from the programs directory i need to include some other file like a .dll or something.

Can anyone give a tip or help me solve this problem?

You may need to provide a WorkingDirector y for the object or even some arguments.
Take a look at ProcessStartInf o and see if you need anything available there.

EDIT: According to this post: http://forum.i3d.net/technische-hulp...quit_body.html the working directory is what was needed

Hi, I'm using the following code to print documents from the file system but i'm encountering strange behaviour. If I print one document it works ok but if i say loop round a list of files and print them they start coming out in the wrong order, some of the documents are printed multiple times and others are not printed at all. I think it might be the invoked application, word, outlook, acrobat etc, getting in a mess when it has to...

I am trying to start a process from a windows service but when the process starts the command window that the process runs in never shows. Is this because I am calling it from a windows service? Is there something else that I need to do? Here is my code: System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo info = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();

Dear group, I created an aspx page using System.Diagnostics.Process() to launch "tracert" from shell and redirect output to Response.Output which prints it as text/plain into my browsers window.

How can I stop locking my application and be...

I have been trying for some time now to launch Internet Explorer from my code. I have read the MSDN notes on this way of starting processes and used their example but couldn't get it to work. I then searched the forums and made ammendments suggested to previous posters but it still isn't working. Here is my StartInternetExplorer() method. Could you please look and see what I am doing wrong? Thankyou. Gary.

Hello folks, I'm using System.Diagnostics.Process to start a thirdparty program (that works perfectly when started via command line). I'm using Process.StandardOutput to get the output of the program. That works for 95 %, but the other 5 % it doesn't. It seems to me that the started process just hangs, and therefor my program hangs, too (p.WaitForExit()). I researched that this only happens when the output of the program is longer than...
