I currently have this piece of code:

Sub Button1Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) If dlgFolder.ShowDialog = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then txtPath.Text = dlgFolder.SelectedPath Try Dim CopyFile As String = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory, "pdftk.exe") Dim CopyLocation As String = Path.Combine(dlgFolder.SelectedPath, "pdftk.exe") Dim pyScript As String = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory, "pdfmerge.py") Dim pyLocation As String = Path.Combine(dlgFolder.SelectedPath, "pdfmerge.py") System.IO.File.Copy(CopyFile, CopyLocation, True) System.IO.File.Copy(pyScript, pyLocation, True) Catch copyError As IOException Console.WriteLine(copyError.Message) End Try End If End Sub

This copies two files in the current working directory (which will be the default install folder) to the selected path from the Fodler Dialog Browser. This works correctly.

Now what I want to do is too run "pdfmerge.py" into the selected folder path. I tried the below code but the script is still running in the current working directory.

Sub BtnNowClick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Dim myProcess As Process Dim processFile As String = Path.Combine(dlgFolder.SelectedPath, "pdfmerge.py") myProcess.Start(processFile, dlgFolder.SelectedPath) End Sub

Any help please?

Does this work?

My.Computer.FileSystem.CurrentDirectory = dlgFolder.SelectedPath
