I wish to execute 7za.exe, which is located in the directory of my project files at the moment, with the argument

"e"+strTheGadget+" -o C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Shared Gadgets\"+strTheGadgetName+""

 So I used this:

Process.Start("7za.exe e "+strTheGadget+" -o C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Shared Gadgets\"+strTheGadgetName+"")

 However, #Develop throws up an error that it can't find the application... any help?

 I'm a n00b... I've just started with VB.NET...

(I'm using 7zip because I can't figure out #ZipLib) 

Try to define the complete path of the executable, and to separate the arguments. For example:

Process.Start("C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe", "Arguments here")

I'm using 7z command line edition, and dropped it into the project folder.

If you omit the path, you have to put  7z executable in the same directory of your application. By default in Debug or Release folder under YourProject/bin

It still can't find it

Have you tried without arguments? If it works (7z starts...) , you have to review your arguments string.

OK, without the arguments it still can't find 7za.exe (I did put it in bin/debug)

Process.Start("C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe", "Arguments here")

 Didn't catch that... I'll try it later
 

try

Process.Start("C:\\Program Files\\7-Zip\\7z.exe", "Arguments here") 

instead of Process.Start("C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe", "Arguments here")
