createprocess

I have a Windows executable that is launched from within a service by calling CreateProcessWithLogonW() with a set of specfied user details. This works fine and the process starts as expected. However, when this process tries to launch other processes itself, currently just using CreateProcess() these start then die straight away - they are executables that require desktop access. After reading up on Microsoft's article on CreateProcess() - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms682425(VS.85).aspx I think can see why this is happening and it makes sense to an extent. CreateProcess() knows

I'm trying to write a program which needs to create some other processes. I'm used to the Windows API but now I need my program to be able to run in a Linux platform too. Is it possible to do it in a portable manner? Do I have to use the preprocessor for that purpose? EDIT: I need to wait for it to finish before continuing to do things. In my opinion the system function should always be avoided: it's unreliable, since you don't know what shell will handle your command and it doesn't have means to return you an unambiguous error code. Moreover, on platforms like Windows where processes are

Been trying to invoke the Truecrypt exe from my Visual Studio C++ application, but CreateProcess just isn't working. GetLastError() shows 127 . The objective is to invoke the exe without showing the command window . Please help. I've tried searching and also reading the CreateProcess parameter explanation . #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <iostream> #include<Windows.h> int main( void ) { HANDLE StdInHandles[2]; HANDLE StdOutHandles[2]; HANDLE StdErrHandles[2]; CreatePipe(&StdInHandles[0], &StdInHandles[1], NULL, 4096); CreatePipe(&StdOutHandles[0], &StdOutHandles[1], NULL, 4096

I want to call a python script from Java. My python version is 2.5 and Java is 6. My current code: try{ Process p= Runtime.getRuntime().exec("path/dirs/file.py"); p.waitFor(); } catch (InterruptedException ex){ System.out.println(ex.getMessage());} } The error I receive is: Java.IO.IOException: Cannot run program filename: CreateProcess error = 193, %1 is not a valid Win32 application Try to use PrecessBuilder - try{ String prg = "import sys\nprint int(sys.argv[1])+int(sys.argv[2])\n"; BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("test1.py")); out.write(prg); out.close(); int number1

I have an application that gets started via a shortcut. This application than starts a Java GUI application with CreateProcess(). When the Java application gets pinned to the taskbar the javaw.exe gets pinned to the taskbar instead of the "expected" shortcut. Only the native executable which launches Java can be modified - the shortcut has to stay. What has to be done so that the shortcut gets pinned? Thanks, Stefan Use something like winrun4j or create a .bat instead of using a shortcut. There is a Java library providing the new Windows 7 features for Java. It's called J7Goodies by Strix Code

I'm sure most Windows developers are familiar with this error message, usually when trying to mix 32- and 64-bit executables. In particular Python and Java can both get it. %1 is not a valid Win32 application. It's clear that %1 represents the first argument to the failing command - i.e. the executable that is trying to be loaded - but why does it not get filled in with the actual path? Is it something that the caller is doing wrong, or is it a basic failing of some Windows subsystem that cannot be fixed for compatibility reasons? Mark Ransom The error message comes from Windows itself, you
