Question

I’m firing off a Java application from inside of a C# .NET console application. It works fine for the case where the Java application doesn’t care what the ‘default’ directory is, but fails for a Java application that only searches the current directory for support files.

Is there a process parameter that can be set to specify the default directory that a process is started in?

Yes! ProcessStartInfo Has a property called WorkingDirectory, just use:

... using System.Diagnostics; ...  var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();    startInfo.WorkingDirectory = // working directory   // set additional properties   Process proc = Process.Start(startInfo);
