Question

The code below works fine but I need to add the WaitForExit method. But it doesn’t show as being available. What am I missing? Thanks.

ProcessStartInfo process = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe", @"/C " + AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Setupws.exe");
process.Verb = "runas";
process.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
Process.Start(process);

WaitForExit() is an instance method, which requires that you create an instance of Process and run that, rather than using the static Process.Start() without capturing the Process return value.

Once you create the Process instance and set the ProcessStartInfo on it, you call it’s Start() instance method, then call WaitForExit() on the instance.

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
//Set info properties...
Process process = new Process();
process.StartInfo = info;
//set other process properties...
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
