Archive: executing 'Start' command line


executing 'Start' command line
Hi,

I am trying to execute console application using Windows command line 'Start'.
Start execute the specified command within a new Console see: http://ss64.com/nt/start.html

This is the command i want to run

Start "" /min /b "E:\PROGRA~1\Covertix\Cx-Sense\CX-SEN~1\cx-sense.exe" -app cxuser_framework


Putting this command within a batch file and execute the batch file from NSIS using Exec - works beautifully

But - when using Exec and then the command (rather than the batch file) - do nothing.

Actually - even just
 Exec 'Start'

do nothing

Help?

Tx

start is not an executable. It is built into cmd.exe therefore you cannot expect to run it without cmd.exe /c.

ReadEnvStr $R0 COMSPEC
nsExec::Exec `"$R0" /c start ...`
