Question

I feel really silly having to ask this question as I know I should not be having so much trouble with this simple task….but I am trying to launch my .msi when a user pushes a button of a form. I am certain this is a one liner but I cannot for the life of me figure this out. I have the .MSI file on my desktop so I want the button to also be able to have the user select where the msi file is. If anyone could help me that would be grand…

Look at Process.Start.

Process.Start("path to msi");

To get the path to the file, you can use the FileDialog class (assuming winforms).

OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog();

if(openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
   Process.Start(openFileDialog1.FileName);
}
