Serz.exe in VB.net

[67016]

Im currently writing a program in VB.net to alow people to easily add lights to locos in RW. I want to make it so that the user can open a .bin file however i cant seem to get serz.exe to convert from . bin to .xml Is there a certain way that i have to do it? This is the code im using

Code: Select all

Process.Start("serz.exe", filename)

Hi!

in java i use this:

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(SERZCMD+origFilePath).waitFor();

and SERZCMD is a constant which contains this string "serz.exe "
origFilePath is an absolute path to the bin.

(and of yourse waitFor() method makes my program to wait for serz to finish it's work.

You can create a .bat file with the lines command to execute the serz function, then you can execute this bat file from your VB program with shell function.

I did it and it works perfectly.

Sorry for my english.

Regards.

Thanks, I solved the problem, its just down to windows not letting me edit files in the RW directory.

Hi Kris,

I think you will find that the majority of users have their Steam directory in c:\Program Files (x86)\ so unless you tell them that they must run the utility as administrator, they will complain about your utility not working.
