Problem in executing Exe from Visual Basic.

[Ratnakar Pedagani]

Hi,

I'm trying to execute a GUI application from visual basic (named
PathProx.exe). this pathprox.exe is linked to different files that are
present in the same directory as pathprox. when i'm trying execute
pathprox.exe directly, i could run the application without any errors,
but when i'm executing the same using visual basic with the following
code, pathprox.exe is unable to link with those files. its giving some
errors. i dont have the source code for pathprox application. can
anybody suggest me as where i'm going wrong or any solution for this?

Dim pInfo As PROCESS_INFORMA TION
Dim sInfo As STARTUPINFO
Dim sNull As String
Dim lSuccess As Long
Dim lRetValue As Long

sInfo.cb = Len(sInfo)
lSuccess = CreateProcess(s Null, _

"C:\RIAAS_Simul ator_RSM\PathPr ox.exe", _
ByVal 0&, _
ByVal 0&, _
1&, _
NORMAL_PRIORITY _CLASS, _
ByVal 0&, _
sNull, _
sInfo, _
pInfo)

lRetValue = TerminateProces s(pInfo.hProces s, 0&)
lRetValue = CloseHandle(pIn fo.hThread)
lRetValue = CloseHandle(pIn fo.hProcess)

Thanking you,
Regards,
Ratnakar Pedagani.

You may just need to put

ChDir "C:\RIAAS_Simul ator_RSM"

before calling CreateProcess.
