Running other program in VB

[Joris De Groote]

Hi

Is it possible with VB.NET to start another program (winrar), to let the
program finish and then to continue?
How can I do this?

Thanks
Joris

Take a look at the Process & ProcessInfo classes. They will do what you
are looking to do.

I'm guessing you are doing this to extract files, you may be able to do
this with a .net component if you look around for one.
