execute external .exe

I think this would be pretty easy,

I am building my setup for my application and we need to install 3rd party software, so in my main application ive added a menu item to install each bit of 3rd party software so when a user clicks this i want to run a .exe which sits in my installation folder within program files.

How do you execute an enternal exe from a button click

thanks all

Hi.

You can use the Process.Start(FileName) method.
There are several different ways you can call this, so you can control wether to wait until the process ends before continueing or open maximized and so on.

OK cheers thats worked cool,
you know how to open a folder ? sperific directory ?

Code:

---

Process.Start("explorer", "C:\Windows")
