hii..
i'm trying to open notepad with CreateProcess according to the book that i'm studing with it goes like this:

Code:

STARTUPINFO sui;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
ZeroMemory(&sui,sizeof(STARTUPINFO));
sui.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
CreateProcess(NULL,L"C:\\WINDOWS\\Notepad.exe",NULL,NULL,FALSE,NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,NULL,NULL,&sui,&pi);

but when i active that code the window crushes . . huh o.O ?!?!

Code:

int OpenProcess( LPTSTR process_name )
{
STARTUPINFO sui;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

ZeroMemory( &si, sizeof(sui) );
si.cb = sizeof(si);
ZeroMemory( &pi, sizeof(pi) );

int retval = CreateProcess( process_name,
NULL,NULL,NULL,FALSE, NULL, //change your creation flag to suit your need.
NULL,NULL,&sui,&pi);

CloseHandle( pi.hProcess );
CloseHandle( pi.hThread );
//returns ZERO if failed. returns NON-ZERO if succeeded.
return retval;
}

Switch the first to parameters. You're giving the path as the command line. _________________

Code:

#include <windows.h>

char target[] = "\\test.exe";
char path[MAX_PATH];
STARTUPINFO si = { 0 };
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;

int main(){
si.cb = sizeof(STARTUPINFO);
GetCurrentDirectory((MAX_PATH - sizeof(target)), (LPSTR)&path);
lstrcat((LPSTR)&path, (LPSTR)&target);
CreateProcess((LPSTR)&path, NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE,
NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
}
