Process.Start says file not found

[sjoshi23]

Hello

I'm trying to start a remote desktop session using Process.Start but
it keeps saying "File not found". The same cmd thru DOS window works
fine.

I used: C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\mstsc.exe /v:SP3DLAB4


Any hints ?

thanks

Quid pro quo.  You give us hints about your code first.    So far, you  
haven't described anything about how your code tries to do this, so it's  
not fair to ask anyone why it's not working.

Post the code.

Like I mentioned, I use Process.Start(cmdLine) to start a remote
desktop where cmdLine = "C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\mstsc.exe /v:SP3DLAB4
"

I may be wrong, but I think the problem is that the command you are
trying to run has a parameter on the command line. I believe if you
try to start a process with:

Process.Start(filename);

all filename can be is the name of a file, not the name of a file
followed by a parameter. I think you will have to instantiate a
Process object, set the StartInfo filename with the path to the RDP
program, and set the StartInfo parameters to the parameter, then do a
processobject.Start() method.

Thanks...just used Process.Start("mstsc.exe", "/v:LAB5") and that did
it.
