Run cmd command from vb.net button

I have a simple question that i haven't been able to find the answer to. I have a cmd line program (tap). i have set the path in the environment variable so i can run it from the cmd prompt without issue.

it looks like this:

tap -u load file1 file2

how do i run this via button click in vb.net?

Here's what i have so far...

  Private Sub Flash_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles flashBundle.Click
        'If (String.Compare(imageTextBox.Text, "") <> 0) And (String.Compare(radioTextBox.Text, "") <> 0) Then
        Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo("C:\p4\main\armos\common\tools\tap.exe")
        pi.WorkingDirectory = "C:\p4\main\armos\common\tools\"
        pi.Arguments = ("-u load " + imageTextBox.Text + " " + radioTextBox.Text)
        Process.Start(pi)
        'End If
    End Sub

The cmd window flashes and the program doesn't execute.

Thanks in advance.

Set 

pi.UseShellExecute = True

If you want to launch this process via command line. The way you are doing it now is launching it like you were double clicking it.
