File/Access Error when trying to call a VB6 application from c#

        ProcessStartInfo procStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("cmd", "/c " + "MyExecutable.exe");            
        procStartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
        procStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;            
        procStartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;


        Process proc = new Process();
        proc.StartInfo = procStartInfo;
        proc.Start();

I have an executable in my project, say "MyExecutable.exe". When running this application, it will create a log file in the same path where this exe is executed.

If I run this exe in command prompt, I have no issues.

But If I run the exe from c# code, it is throwing error "File/Access Error" in the below code which is in MyExecutable.exe

Open `sLogfile` For Output Access Write As `LogFileNumber`

where sLogfile is the logfile name and LogFileNumber is the FreeFile.

Current guidance says to not write logs into an executable directory. This is probably Windows enforcing this guidance. Write to the user's AppData directory instead.
