I'm trying to run gpg.exe from C# using ProcessStartInfo()/Process.Start(). When I run it from cmd it works. I copy and paste the exact command I ran from cmd into my C# app and gpg.exe opens but it just hangs. Doesn't show any text in the window and just sits there doing nothing. What could be going on?

var gpg = new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\GnuPG\gpg.exe", @"--batch --yes --output c:\applications\development\invoicedecryption\temp\invoice.csv --passphrase-fd <C:\GNUPG\pasfraz.txt --decrypt C:\applications\development\invoicedecryption\temp\Invoices.csv.pgp");

var prs = new Process();
prs.StartInfo = gpg;
prs.Start();

Probably the process waits for you to read its output – dlxeon Apr 19 '18 at 12:57
What does the first character of ` – mjwills Apr 19 '18 at 13:19
@dlxeon 1. How would I do that? 2. The file doesn't get decrypted so if this is the case then it's blocking the decryption from happening. – user441521 Apr 19 '18 at 13:22
@mjwills That's a good question. I believe it's reading what's in the file and inserting that text into the command. It works when I type that in cmd.exe is all I know. – user441521 Apr 19 '18 at 13:22
Did you read the link I suggested? – mjwills Apr 19 '18 at 23:08
