Running program in VB.NET doesn't work?

[Joris De Groote]

Hi

I am trying to run winrar from VB.NET. I do this:
Dim commando As String
commando = " E -y " + getbackupmap() + naam + " " + gettempmap()
commando = """" + getwinrar() + """" + commando
Dim p As Process = Process.Start(c ommando)
p.WaitForExit()

Now I get this error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Compone ntModel.Win32Ex ception'
occurred in system.dll
Additional information: The system cannot find the file specified

So this is the commando: C:\Program Files\winrar\Wi nRAR.exe" E -y
c:\Test\Backup\ UParchive_20060 303.zip C:\Test\temp\

When I do this in start-run it works... Am I missing something?

Thanks
Joris

Joris,

Yes you miss the arguments property.

Not tested could it be something as this

\\\
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o
pi.UseShellExec ute = False
pi.RedirectStan dardOutput = True
pi.Arguments = "E -y c:\Test\Backup\ UParchive_20060 303.zip C:\Test\temp\"
pi.WorkingDirec tory = "C:\Program Files\winrar\"
pi.FileName = "WinRar.Exe "
p.StartInfo = pi
p.Start()
///

I hope this heps.

Hi,

I put my old code in comment and added in this code, it looks a lot better,
however, I still get the same error. I checked everything from the argument
again, but I still get this:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.Compone ntModel.Win32Ex ception'
occurred in system.dll
Additional information: The system cannot find the file specified

Hi,

It works now, I used this:
Dim commando As String

commando = "E -y " + getbackupmap() + naam + " " + gettempmap()

Dim p As Process = Process.Start(g etwinrar(), commando)

p.WaitForExit()

Thanks for the help
