Run an application via shortcut using Process.Start()
Could you post some code. Something like this should work:
Process proc = new Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = @"c:\myShortcut.lnk";
proc.Start();
Setting UseShellExecute = false
was the problem. Once I removed that, it stopped crashing.
If you're using UseShellExecute = false and trying to launch a batch file make sure to add .bat to the end of the filename. You don't need .bat if UseShellExecute = true though. This made me just waste an hour of work... hoping to save someone else.
