Need help running a silent CMD command (Shell is not working) - Mr Fox - Jan 23, 2015

Alright I need when a button is pressed it runs the commands "start <application.exe> <IP> <Port>"

However I want it to run silently. When I try opening CMD and inputting the command, it goes through however it opens the window (I tried using taskkill afterwards but I would highly prefer it being 100% silent).

When I try using Shell it make the defualt directory system32 so when it runs the "start <Application.exe> <IP> <Port>" it cannot find the specified application.

Is there anyway to get shell to read from the current directory?

PHP Code 


<?php 
Dim processStartInfo As ProcessStartInfo = New ProcessStartInfo()
processStartInfo.FileName = "app.exe"
processStartInfo.Arguments = "/k <IP> <Port>"
processStartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
Process.Start(processStartInfo) 

This should work!

This should work!

The application needs to be run with the Args. Or I'll get an error since once the application initializes it ignores the cmd args

Code:

Code 
Dim p As New ProcessStartInfo("C:\Users\Odus\Desktop\VBConsole.exe", "hello") 'With {.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden, .CreateNoWindow = True}

Process.Start(p)

instead of

Code 
C:\Users\Odus\Desktop\VBConsole.exe

I need to have it in the files location

Replace with:

Code 
AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory & "whatever.exe"
