I have this C# program i made and while i can run it fine by clicking the exe file or by clicking on a batch file, I cant start up the program on a java program I made to run it. I have tried this line of code and couldn't get the software to run.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("nameOfTheExeFile");
or set it to the batch file i made that starts the program.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("nameOfTheBatchFile");
Now the interesting thing is when I try it with the batch file i get an error saying that the file cannot be found but when i double click the batch file it will start the exe file just fine.
I have even tried to use Process but I am not getting any luck with that process as well
List cmdAndArgs = Arrays.asList(new String[]{"cmd.exe", "/c", "ProgramName.exe"});
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder(cmdAndArgs);
Process p = pb.start();
Strange thing is i dont get any error at all. Even when i try unit testing i don't any error's at all. Is there a process I am missing or something ? I am lost on what to do.
Update:
When i check on the task manager i can see that the program is running but not the exe version. I see ProgramName.vshost.exe , is there a reason for this to be showing and not the exe file ?
