  try { string applicationPath = @"c:\MyFolder\MyApp.exe"; Process.Start( applicationPath ); } catch( Exception caught ) { MessageBox.Show( "Error while starting application.\r\n\t\nDetails:\r\n" + caught.Message ); }

  You can use the Process clas in the Diagnostics namespace to start an external process.
  Here's a small code snippet which you can use to start an external exe.
  
  Code Snippet:
  ==========
  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.Text;
  //you will need the Diagnostics Namespace for using Process class
  using System.Diagnostics;
  
  class Program{
  
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
  
  Process newProcess = new Process();
  string path = @"FULL_PATH_OF_THE_EXTERNAL_EXE";
  newProcess .StartInfo.FileName = path ;
  newProcess .Start();
  }
  }
  
  HTH,
  Prakash
