Answer 1

When running from VS the folder with your application is the bin/Debug or bin/Release. The program should be there.

Another option is to add the path to the program extracted from Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase

Answer 2

You should try something like

Process.Start(System.IO.Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "notepad.exe"))

Answer 3

When I add there this:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(System.IO.Path.Combine(My.Application.Info.DirectoryPath, "something.exe"))

It is working thanks for help - FIXED :-)
