Run a VBScript (program startup) from VB.net in AutoCAD

[Bassiemeer]

Hello,

I have made a userform in AutoCAD, I made some buttons where I want to start software from.
The programm I want to run is started by an VBScript from the manufacturer.
When I double click the VBScript the program starts, but trying to execute if from a button_click on my AutoCAD userform it returns that I am missing MSVCR70.dll files.
The missing file is in the folder of the program I want to run, aswel in my System32 folder.

I tried to execute it the next ways:

Process.Start("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cscript.exe", """C:\Program Files (x86)\Program\Run.vbs")

and

Process.Start("C:\Program Files (x86)\Program\Run.vbs")

What is going wrong ?

[SIZE=2]
Process.Start([/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515][SIZE=2][COLOR=#a31515]"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Shortcut Run.lnk"[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2])
[/SIZE]

That does seem to work, only problem, when I select the shortcut with OpenFileDialog it takes the VBScript file it links to and not the .lnk.

Try specifying working directory, this is something you can do with ProcessStartInfo Class (System.Diagnostics)

The problem was a corrupt installation of the program I was trying to run.
