launching application from code.

[Rychertate]

I am suppose to edit the following below to launch the correct program. What is this stuff:
("CLSID\{894CB887-EE61-11D1-B824-004033B07A82}\LocalServer32") in the method? isn't it suppose to be the path? What am I suppose to launch this:
"C:\Program Files\DQS\WinSPC_Test\Winspc32.exe"

Do I have to register it? If so, how?


Public Sub New()
Me.key = New String(100) {}
Me.value = New String(100) {}

Dim R As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey

R = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("CLSID\{894CB887-EE61-11D1-B824-004033B07A82}\LocalServer32")
Dim s As String = CStr(R.GetValue(vbNullString))
INI_LOC = Left(s, InStrRev(s, "\")) & "WinSPC.ini"

Me.Read_INI()
End Sub

That long string is the path to the value in the registry. Use regedit to see what's in there.

Then use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Path & Executable) to start the program.

Maybe I should place this in the VB.NET FAQ's as well as the ASP.NET FAQ's?
