Running An External Program, And Several Arguments in C#

I use the following command which should create a separate EXE file (Player.exe as an interpreter).: 

copy / b player.exe + game.zip game.ehe

But, the command did not create (even if the bat file is obtained), and launches an empty player.exe without game.zip.

My below code does not work:

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    saveDialog.Filter = "exe | *.exe";
    if (saveDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) ;
    {
        ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo();
        info.FileName = @"engine\windows\player.exe";
        info.Arguments = "/b copy " + labelPath + saveDialog.FileName;
        info.WindowStyle = System.Diagnostics.ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
        using (Process process = Process.Start(info))
        {
            process.WaitForExit();
        }
    }
}

Can somebody tell me why my code is not working as expected?

Another option if labelPath is of type Label than + will call ToString on it and resulting string will be something like "...Label...". You may need something like (may need to combine with Fredrik Mörk's answer if path have spaces):

info.Arguments = "/b copy labelPath.Text + saveDialog.FileName;

Are there spaces in the file path that you pass? If so, you will probably want to quote the string:

info.Arguments = "/b copy \"" + labelPath + saveDialog.FileName + "\"";
