Sorry, I don't understand what problem you are having.
What is the code doing that you don't want it to, or not doing that you do?
Remember, we can't see your screen or access your HDD, so we have to work from only what you tell us!

Solution 1

Keep the exe to be opened in the same path where you have the exe you have developed.

Use "Application.StartUpPath" + exename

Hope this helps.

Hi,

You can try like this,

C#

try
{
     string path = @"E:\Hamza Development Tools don't Touch This Folder\WindowsFormsApplication6\WindowsFormsApplication6\Rufus.exe";
     ProcessStartInfo pinfo = new ProcessStartInfo(path);
     Process.Start(pinfo);
}
catch(Exception exc) { }

Hope it will work.
