      So why can't you just show us what you tried? Are we supposed to guess how you're writing code? Also, consider using ShellExecute[^].

        use CreateProcess or ShellExecute, Does your exe normally runs when you execute it not programmatically.

          Have you read this?

          "Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a car that you are still paying for, in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes and the car and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it." - Ellen Goodman

          "To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals; to have deference for others governs our manners." - Laurence Sterne
