Using “rundll32.exe” to access SpeechUX.dll

Good Day,

I have searched the Internet tirelessly trying to find an example of how to start Windows Speech Training from with in my VB.Net Speech Recognition Application.

I have found a couple examples, which I can not get working to save my life.

One such example is on the Visual Studios Fourms:

HERE

this particular example users the 'Process.Start' call to try and start the Speech Training Session. However this does not work for me. Here is the exmaple from that thread:

Process.Start('rundll32.exe', 'C:Windowssystem32speechspeechuxSpeechUX.dll, RunWizard UserTraining')


What happens is I get and error that says:

There was a problem starting

C:Windowssystem32speechspeechuxSpeechUX.dll

The specified module could not be found


So I tried creating a shortcut (.lnk) file and thought I could access the DLL this way. My short cut kind of does the same thing. In the short cut I call the 'rundll32.exe' with parameters:

C:WindowsSystem32 undll32.exe 'C:Windowssystem32speechspeechuxSpeechUX.dll' RunWizard UserTraining


Then in my VB.Net application I use the 'Process.Start' and try to run the shortcut.

This also gives me the same error. However the shortcut itself will start the SPeech Training session. Weird?!?

So, I then took it one step further, to see if it has something to do with my VB.Net Application and the 'Process.Start' Call.

I created a VBScript, and using 'Wscript.Shell' I point to the Shortcut.

Running the VBScript calls the Shortcut and low and behold the Speech Training starts!

Great! But...

when I try to run the VBscript from my VB.net Application, I get that error again.

What the heck is going on here?
