Run an external exe from resources

[Gatzy118]

ive no idea where to put this so if its in the wrong place can a mod move it?

Im trying to run an external exe with a button click. However, do i put the exe in my resources folder or do i leave it out. If its in my resources folder, will it get installed along with the rest of the application? If its in the resources folder, what is the path i need to use to run it? I know this is very n00by but please bear with me. Thanks all, Gatzy118

You can choose.

If its in my resources folder, will it get installed along with the rest of the application?

Application resources are compiled into exe/dll.

If its in the resources folder, what is the path i need to use to run it?

You have to save it to a path and execute it from there. Exception is if the external app is managed where you could load it into current app memory with reflection and load types dynamically, but it doesn't seem as what you were thinking.
