I have a following application I want to run from a flash drive, say F:\App.exe:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Process.Start(@"C:\AnotherApp.exe");
}
However, after App.exe terminates, it is impossible to "Safely Remove"开发者_开发百科 drive F: until AnotherApp.exe terminates as well. When viewing the process tree using Sysinternals Process Monitor, process AnotherApp.exe is still a child of App.exe (which is terminated).
Is there a way to start a process from an application on a flash drive, that would not block its safe removal?
Process.Start
always spawns a process as child of the lauching application.
Even if you terminate the parent, the child will still be an orphan of that one, and I think it still holds the parent handles.
EDIT:
OK, I got it.
The problem is that the child process is started with F:\
as its current directory.
You can create process using CreatePocess()
through P/Invoke
, and the set a different starting directory (I've tested it and it works).
