Trouble with using "system function"

[Leila Y]

Dear Friends,
I need to execute an executable file (*.exe) within visual c++ program.
I have used " system function " for this purpose and it works in most of the
time but sometimes while performing this command it can't close the
MS DOS prompt window and return from it .
I want to know how I can solve this problem and
if there is another way to execute (*.exe) within visual c++ program.

Thanks.

Hello

AFAIK, system() (in Windows OS) will use the program specified in %COMSPEC%
environment variable with a /C parameter to launch your program.

A better alternative to execute a program is to use the Windows' specific
functions WinExec(), CreateProcess() or ShellExecute[Ex].
