Explain what you mean...

[Neth'zul]

Ok well, lets say I click a button named Web browser, then when I press it, it opens a web browser I made, now this is NOT what im doing, it just an example.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "\subdirectory of the directory the app you're launching from\apptolaunch.exe")

[Neth'zul]

Thanks ReidE96 +rep

EDIT: So would it be like this
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory() & "My.Resources/program") ??

[Ryoushi.]

Ignore that before it confuses you.

On the code for your button, put this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\wow.exe")

Basically, that just opens WoW. Hopefully that gives you an idea of how it works.

Thank you, so I would do kinda the same thing with resources like
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("My.Resources.program")

[Ryoushi.]

If I'm understanding you correctly then yes. Just try it out, have a play with it.

[Neth'zul]

Bleh, didn't work >,<

[Ryoushi.]

Explain to me in better detail what you want to do...
...I'm lost at the "resources" part..

[Neth'zul]

Ok, you know your have your resource? Well i want to put a file into my resources and be able to open it. Example My.Computer.Audio.Play(My.Resources.musicname) except with a .exe

add me on msn [email protected]

[Ryoushi.]

Well do what I said but er.. I don't know why you're using dots when there should be slashes.
Remember the quotation marks.

Find the directory and do it like this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\My Resources\example.exe")

Just make sure the .exe is in the resources..

[Neth'zul]

Ok, would this work for OTHER people as well, not just me..

[Ryoushi.]

Only if you include the .exe's in the folder that you give them.
Basically, their directory would have to be the same as yours.
