Running saxon in a vb.net shell

Greetings, 
 
I need to run saxon8 from a vb.net shell. The following works when I execute
from a command prompt: 
 
h:\edi-process\bin\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin\java.exe -jar
h:\edi-process\bin\saxon\8.4\saxon8.jar 
 
however when I launch this from a shell within my VB.Net application this
does not work. I get nothing returned (as if it cannot find the saxon8.jar
file). I can execute just the java.exe from the shell and I get the help
output; so I know the shell is working and can execute java.exe just fine. 
 
I realize this is probably a VB.Net problem but I could really use some help
with this. Am I not executing java.exe correctly? Is there a switch (like a
classpath setting) that I'm not using correctly? Any and all help is much
appreciated. 
 
Thanks, 
Jim Neff
