title: VB.net lauching a program from sub folder
body: <p>So I need to lauch an external application from the sub folder of the program. The application will be deployed with the program but may be in different locations so I can't hardcode it to "c:\folder\example.exe"</p>
  
  <p>When I run this I get an error that file cannot be found although I have the folder and file in \bin\debug.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub btnUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpdate.Click
      System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\app\ds104.exe")
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Even when the application is in the root folder which will not be ideal I get the same error.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub btnUpdate_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnUpdate.Click
      System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("ds104.exe")
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thank you for taking a look.</p>
