try this.

string  strCmdText = "KatanaFirmware\\key-template.txt "+ "\\Keyfiles\\new-keyfile.txt " + cableTextBox.Text.Trim()+" " +     startIdTextBox.Text.Trim();
Process mp = new Process();
mp.StartInfo.FileName = "E:\\create-keyfile.exe"; //path of the exe that you want to run
mp.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
mp.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
mp.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
mp.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
mp.StartInfo.Arguments = strCmdText;
mp.Start();
mp.WaitForExit();

Hope it helps.

Have you tried cmd with /k or /c option

From the link

/c : Carries out the command specified by string and then stops.

/k : Carries out the command specified by string and continues.

   string  strCmdText = "/k create-keyfile.exe ..\\KatanaFirmware\\key-template.txt ..\\Keyfiles\\new-keyfile.txt " + cableTextBox.Text.Trim()+" " + startIdTextBox.Text.Trim();
   System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe", strCmdText);

ProcessStartInfo process = new ProcessStartInfo();
process.FileName = "yourprogram.exe";
process.Arguments = strCmdText; // or put your arguments here rather than the string
Process.Start(process);

 System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("create-keyfile.exe");
startInfo.Arguments = "..\\KatanaFirmware\\key-template.txt ..\\Keyfiles\\new-keyfile.txt " + cableTextBox.Text.Trim()+" " + startIdTextBox.Text.Trim();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startInfo);

You can also see MSDN site on Process.Start, there are examples on how to execute .exe and pass arguments to it.

have you tried

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("CMD.exe "+strCmdText);

Actually on further inspection I don't think you need to call CMD.EXE You should be calling your exe file, unless of course you are using CMD to to display something

string  strCmdText =  "..\\KatanaFirmware\\key-template.txt ..\\Keyfiles\\new-keyfile.txt " + cableTextBox.Text.Trim()+" " + startIdTextBox.Text.Trim();
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("create-keyfile.exe", strCmdText);
