hi,

im using the following command to give parameters to WinRar.exe:

string cmdArgs = string.Format("A {0} {1}", @"F:\test\daemon\daemon4304-lite", @"F:\test\daemon\daemon4304-lite.exe")

but when the program runs winrar creates a "rar" that starts from test directory inseteade of just raring the file I want.

How can I do to make WinRar.exe rar only the file I want
thanks in advance

Hi drini,

We can change the current directory to the directory which contains the file needs to be packaged, then call the WinRAR command to package the file. For example, the command can be as follows:
cd C:\Users\v-shunli\Documents\MyFile
"C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" A "test.rar" "Rad.RegexDesigner.Setup.1.4.exe"

We can also follow the code snippet below to change the current directory programmatically:
System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(@"C:\Users\v-shunli\Documents\MyFile");

Let me know if this does not help.

thank you for the reply but it is because that im following that thread that im having problem.

the command described into that thread when i "Run" it it puts into the "RAR" all the path starting from the HD part where it is allocated, ex: D:\..\...\..file.rar or C:\....file.rar

what i want to create is just file.rar

thanks in advance

Hi drini,

In your code snippet, the parameters are:

1. @"F:\test\daemon\daemon4304-lite"

2. @"F:\test\daemon\daemon4304-lite.exe�/span>

The first parameter is the rar file path and the second parameter is the files which need to be packaged. So we need to change the first parameter to
@"F:\test\daemon\daemon4304-lite.rar"

Please read the reply I posted at Thursday, July 30, 2009 7:19 AM which includes some examples in this thread: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/winformsapplications/thread/a34c88be-1174-4899-9ff1-039098257d85.
