Explorer doesnt execute an exe

[Usman]

Hi all

My problem is that if i execute an application from going to the
destination folder (c:\program files\abc\xyz.exe) and double click it,
it works ok.

If i try to run it from explorer (copy, paste path in explorer bar) it
gives me a runtime error (log file missing). If i run it from start
menu run command it also runs ok.

Why is it happening in explorer with this particular application,
while the explorer is running all the other executable applications
(some of which require dlls) perfectly fine. The destination
application is a straight forward application written in VB which
reads from a log file contained in the same folder.

Try first browsing to the directory containing the exe, THEN running it.
