Exceute an exe file

[tj_sony]

Could anyone please help me to execute an exe file "fi2t1" and store its output files into the destination "C:\\Temp\\sample". 
 
Currently, my following code is not outputting any files. 
 
private static void compilingFiles() throws IOException 
{
String SecondParam = "C:\\Temp\\sample";     
Process procforopenreport2 =Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start /MIN C:/Temp/sample/fi2t1 "+new File(SecondParam));
}

I find that the best way to track down problems with exec is to look at the output and error streams. I use code similar to this, although you may want to modifiy it for your particular needs.

 Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commandString);
         InputStream stderr = proc.getErrorStream();
         InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(stderr);
         BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
 
         String line = br.readLine();
 
         while(line != null) {
            System.out.println(line);
            line = br.readLine();
         }
 
         proc.waitFor();
