I'm trying to start an application programatically, but it always runs it in the folder of my application... For example:
If my app is located in C:\MyApp\myapp.exe and the other app is in C:\OtherApp\otherapp.exe, how can I start the other app in the folder in which it resides, rather than in the folder where my app resides?
Here is how I start the other app:
private void StartApp(OtherApp application)
{
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo.FileName = application.FileName;
process.StartInfo.Arguments = application.AppName;
process.Start();
}
I guess you mean ProcessStartInfo.WorkingDirectory Property
Use process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = pathToTheFolder;
.
Just set the WorkDirectory property.
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(application.Filename);
