executing in a different directory

System::Diagnostics::Process::Start("lag.exe");

I love this command, but how do I use it for something in another directory

let's say the .cpp is in
c:\lag

but the file I want is in
c:\lag2

you can use spawn and exec functions to run the command and it will help you keep track of it...

other than that, you can just add directories "C:\somedir\lag.exe" or "..\lag.exe"

I tried adding the directory. Nothing happened. I didn't get an error, but nothing happened.

you didn't put like I did, did you?... don't forget about the '\' they have to be "\\"

Use the following overload of Process.Start:

And set the property working directory of the instance of the ProcessStartInfo class:
