    Need help running batch file *resolved*

    VB Code:
    1. strCommand = BuildCommand()
    2.         'MsgBox(strCommand)
    3.         Clipboard.SetDataObject(strCommand)
    4.  
    5.         Dim writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(App_Path() + "convert.bat")
    6.         writer.WriteLine(strCommand)
    7.         writer.Close()
    8.  
    9.         System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(App_Path() + "convert.bat")
    10.         MsgBox("batch file executed")

    Ok so this set of code correctly creates the convert.bat file and I can see it flicker as the window runs but it doesn't run the contents of the batch file. However, If I double click the batch file manually from the dir it runs. Any ideas?

    Nevermind figured it out, it was running the command in the batch file from the wrong directory, just had to make it run the absolute path.
