    Shell function

    I'm trying to run an .msi file using the Shell function, but I guess it doesn't like it.

    Shell("C:\mySetup.msi", AppWinStyle.NormalFocus, True)

    It gives me the following error:

    ------------------------------------
    An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' occurred in microsoft.visualbasic.dll

    Additional information: File not found.
    ------------------------------------


    Is there a way I can execute an .msi file with code?

    Thanks!

    Use Process.Start(pFilename) instead...

    make sure that the file exists and the path is correct

    it seems that the file is not there at that path

    may be the file name is wrong
    may be the path is wrong
