How to execute another exe from a C++ program in Windows

Question

I want my C++ program to execute another .exe, in Windows. How would I do this? I am using Visual C++ 2010.

Here is my code

#include \"stdafx.h\"
#in         


        

Answer 1

I believe this answer should work with different programs, I tested it with Chrome.

// open program.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#include "string"

using namespace std;

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
    string command = "start chrome https://www.google.com/";
    system(command.c_str());

    return 0;
}
