process.start on x86

scott oliver

I am having an issue with starting a process out of c:\Program Files(x86)\. I get file not found when trying to execute a process from this directory. No issue starting processes from C:\Program Files or any other location. I have tried running as administrator. That did not help. Can anyone suggest a fix?

Can you recheck the path of the file, you are trying to execute? Or share your code snippet for the same

Thank you for those articles. I am running it with full admin permissions and have full access to the folder. As far as the SDK I spun up a new windows 2012 server and tried on that system and I get the same error..

Hi scott oliver,
actually, the "Program files x86" used for installing 32-bit applications in the 64-bit PC. you can check it out below instructions then you will fix your problem.
- Check you are using the right SDK or Not.
- Reinstall SDK with admin privileges.
- give full access for users by doing Find your folder >> properties >> under the security tab "edit" button >> change the permission to allow full control with the user.
