Yes I am using process.start(). But Also I have to pass command line argument like VERYSILENT.

ProcessStartInfo processStart = new ProcessStartInfo();
processStart.Arguments = CommonUtils.ProcessStartArgument;
processStart.FileName = executablepath;
processStart.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
processStart.CreateNoWindow = true;
using (Process process = Process.Start(processStart))
{
process.WaitForExit();
}

Above code is working with Windows 7 but not in Windows XP.

When enter into process start then it exit with exception related to path

So it is clear that in my code "processStart" doesn't giving information in Windows XP.

So is there any solution to attach argument & path other than "ProcessStartInfo ".
