Run .exe with C# Form

I currently have the following set up:

namespace TSRVTC_GUI
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void btnselect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        FolderBrowserDialog fdb = new FolderBrowserDialog();
        if (fdb.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
            txtpath.Text = fdb.SelectedPath;
    }

    private void btnlaunch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Process.Start(@"fdb\Launcher.exe");
    }
}

}

I am trying to start a program contained within a different directory to the .exe but this doesn't work, if someone could help me I'd appreciate it.

I also apologize for the back structure of this question but I am still new on here.

You can use Text property of txtpath instance of TextBox as you are setting the Path in it from FolderBrowseDialog instance, you can do it like:

Process.Start(txtpath.Text);

and if the path is without executable name then you will have to write like:

Process.Start(txtpath.Text+"\launcher.exe");

or more better is to use Path.Combine:

Process.Start(Path.Combine(txtpath.Text,"launcher.exe"));

and for able to use Path class, you would need to add using System.IO in the usings of your class.

Hope it helps!
