Win32Exception "The System Cannot Find the File Specified"

This has been bugging me for 6 hours

How on earth is it solved. I want the program to run a batch file (IP) which is both in resources and in the application path (i.e. bin/debug and /release).

The batch file works when double clicked by itself...

What am I doing wrong? Here is my code. I have tried everything on the internet...

**Private Sub Button3_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Dim OK = MessageBox.Show("Are you sure you want to renew the computer's IP?", "IP Renew?", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel)
If OK = DialogResult.OK Then
Dim IP As New ProcessStartInfo
IP.FileName = Application.StartupPath & "\IP.bat"
IP.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
Process.Start(IP)
End If
End Sub**

I was told this forum was the best one out there

Change the following line

Process.Start(IP)

to

Process.Start("""" & IP & """")

I have had the same problem caused by a space in the folder name in the Application.StartupPath
