In my program i need to run exe file in process. I'm doing it with ProcessBuilder. When i'm putting to code only directory and exe name, process is running normally, but i want to put arguments. When i'm trying it i'm getting exception with Acces Denied message. It's my code:
Process process = new ProcessBuilder("C:\\Directory", "file.exe", argument1).start();
What is wrong with it?
My earlier code, that worked but without arguments was:
String folder = "C:\\Directory";
String exe = "File.exe";
ProcessBuilder pb = new ProcessBuilder();
pb.command(folder + exe);
pb.start();
With this code i was able to see started process in ProcessManager.
Your code is trying to execute C:\\Directory which is not allowed.
The full path of the executable must be in the first argument to the constructor, so:
Process process = new ProcessBuilder("C:\\Directory\\file.exe", argument1).start();
This is assuming C:\Directory\file.exe is the program you are trying to run.
Update: In your original code you have:
String folder = "C:\\Directory";
String exe = "File.exe";
so 'folder + exe' is C:\DirectoryFile.exe so you the equivalent code is:
Process process = new ProcessBuilder("C:\\DirectoryFile.exe", argument1).start();
