Launching application with Run command.

[BeerDrinkingMonkey]

Beginner user here.  I tried searching around however since I am new to this application I wasnt sure of the paremeters to use to find what I am looking for or the correct forum.

I want to open an application, when I look at the properties of the shortcut for the application the target line appears

"C:\Program Files (x86)\<vendor name>\<application folder>\<version>\<application>.exe" -product "<application tag>"

I have tried using the Run command and the file path however I am unsure how to pass that -product "<application tag>" component in the code.  In my testing if I dont use the quotes around the application tag I get an error message from the program and it doesnt open.  If I put them back in I get no error messages however nothing happens.

Any questions please let me know.

Thanks!

If your actually using Run() then you would put the full string shown in the shortcut.

If your using ShellExecute, then the second parameter is where you would put the -Product stuff.

Got it to work through ShellExecute.  Thanks BigDaddyO and Jos
