AFAIR the System.Diagnostics.Process class is not supported in the compact
framework, and that would be why the last method you tried is not working.

I did find this on Google groups though

http://groups.google.com/groups?q=La...ngxa08&rnum=10

Basically it walks through using the CreateProcess API call to run a process
withina C# app on a PocketPC.

Hope that helps,
