    psi.FileName = "E:\Downlaoder.exe"

If your program doesn't change the startup directory by itself then you should specify the WorkingDirectory when you define the ProcessStartInfo instance

Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo
psi.FileName = "E:\Downlaoder.exe"
psi.WorkingDirectory = "E:\"  ' This if you want the file to be created in E root.

You could use Directory.GetCurrentDirectory and use it as the path to save the file to the exe directory
