You are including the application name as part of the Arguments.

Try the following:

Dim p As New Process
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/U:""C:\Program Files\ProCharge Plugin\irunin.xml"""
p.Start("C:\WINDOWS\ProCharge Plugin\uninstall.exe")

Where you pass the name of the executable to the Start method.

Another alternative is to use the FileName property:

Dim p As New Process
p.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\WINDOWS\ProCharge Plugin\uninstall.exe"
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/U:""C:\Program Files\ProCharge Plugin\irunin.xml"""
p.Start()

Check the MSDN page for more information on the various overloads.
