Linking External exe`s

[James1974]

I am a complete newbie to .Net & would like a bit of help.
I would like to compile a form which has links to exe`s within the root folder of the project ie; Link 1 to install MyApplication.exe, Link 2 AnotherApp.exe, etc...
I can do this with:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start _("c:/path/myapp.exe")
But i need this to run from a cd.

Any suggestions please?

take a look at this thread http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=4839

After you know which drive is CD-ROM you can start a new process easy i beleive

if the other exe's are in the same root as the running application then Application.StartupPath is your friend combined with the Process.Start class

Actually, in order to use Application.StartUpPath it is not reduired for the target (file,doc ...) to be in the same root. You can back as much as you want.
i.e. Process.Start(Application.StartUpPath & "/.../anotherFolder/anotherFolder/myExe.exe")
