Question

How can I launch an application using C#?

Requirements: Must work on Windows XP and Windows Vista.

I have seen a sample from DinnerNow.net sampler that only works in Windows Vista.

Answer 1

Use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() method.

Check out this article on how to use it.

Process.Start('notepad', 'readme.txt');  string winpath = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable('windir'); string path = System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(               System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutablePath);  Process.Start(winpath + @'\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\Installutil.exe', path + '\\MyService.exe');
