"https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3049110969" Thats not a process If you really want to use the windows registry to lookup what app to use for a url, then use shellExecute=true in ProcessStartInfo

to use default applications to open documents (and urls) u have to use the shell to execute it. the following would open google in ur default browser:

var info = new ProcessStartInfo
{
    FileName = "https://www.google.com/",
    UseShellExecute = true
};
Process.Start(info);

var info = new ProcessStartInfo
{
    FileName = "https://www.google.com/",
    UseShellExecute = true
};
Process.Start(info);

still doesn't work :') it just crash unless i start it from the .exe if i start it from the vs it crashes with no explanation

hmm, then i dunno either, this at least isnt a problem with the code itself if the executable works fine does this little snippet as stand alone project crash as well?

Not_a•8mo ago

yep try on another project still crashing is there any other method for opening url?

cap5lut•8mo ago

i would try updating to newest version; if u are in preview try stable

Not_a•8mo ago

i'm rarely updating my visual studio everytime there is new update i update it after a month is passed

cap5lut•8mo ago

well, its definitively a problem with vs itself

Not_a•8mo ago

i think so bc before i update vs it work without problem even only with Process.Start method

cap5lut•8mo ago

well im on the latest version and didnt have any issues but i have also never really experienced issues with VS, so i can only guess here as well

Not_a•8mo ago

my friend too hes using my code and it worked perfectly idk why i have that problem

cap5lut•8mo ago

anyway, u should update the thread title making clear that VS crashes if u use Process.Start()

Not_a•8mo ago

yep you were right my VS is broken i just update it to the latest version and now its fixed
