This should be so easy!

Hi all, I am trying to run calc from the command line using a Process.
I am clearly missing something obvious here because the command line
opens but the "Calc" arg never executes...code below...thanks.



Module Module1

Sub Main()
Dim proc As New Process()
Dim info as ProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd.exe",
"calc")
proc.StartInfo = info
proc.EnableRaisingEvents = true
proc.Start()
proc.WaitForExit()
End Sub

End Module

"calc" is not a valid command line switch for cmd.exe
Try "/C calc" or "/K calc"

Try
Dim info as ProcessStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("calc.exe")
instead of "cmd.exe", "calc" and it will work just fine.
