[Help]How to start another program?[Solved]
I know how to have it open a web page but I wanna make a button start a program, and if the program isn't found or on the computer have it have a pop-up window say so.
I was told
would work, well it doesn't I then added the " things still didnt work.
What would do that? +1 thanks and +rep and credit (If you want)
(btw I did search for another post about it before I posted this, so yeah.)
I was told
Code:
Process.Start(program file path)

NONE WORK. . .any ideas? I found a youtube video:
That would take forever and would be a huge code source. . .is that the only way?
Code:
Process.Start("C:\Program Files\test.exe")
I have made a program that open the .exe of the game, but it I needs to be in the folder.
Same code
Process.Start("name of game.exe")
Same code
Process.Start("name of game.exe")
Notpad works because windows has it "preset" Notepad, Wordpad . etc etc.
You need the full file path plus extension otherwise

i.e
[php]
Process.Start("TheGame.exe") 'this will not work, as "TheGame" is not preset in windows and it doesnt know how to activate it.'
Process.Start("C:\NewFolder\MyFiles\TheGame.exe") ' by defining the full path and extension, windows knows exactly what it should be executing and will work.
[/php]

Code:
Process.Start("C:\FileLocation\New Folder\GameName.exe")
