    Code:
    cmd /C "net localgroup > C:\gList.txt\"
    Try removing the last (Bold red) backslash and then run the command

    sorry...copy&past failure :S

    Code:
    strcpy_s(buffer, sizeof(buffer), "cmd /C \"net localgroup > C:\\gList.txt\"");
    the cmd will read:
    cmd /C "net localgroup > C:\gList.txt"
    Why wont it work?

    i'm having no problems using createProcess() to execute commands like:




    but then run this simple command:


    it doesn't work
    it creates a empty gList.txt file...

    i tried to run this command with system() and it doesn't work either

    why is that?
    First off I don't see how any of that is working because you are not representing backslashes correctly in any of those three cases.

    Okay well you ........ing edited after I posted. So in your last case you aren't representing the backslash correctly.

    I wouldn't think his code would work due to the fact that the command line param in the CreateProcess function is modified internally by the function therefore string literals cause errors in all the implementations I've used. It's also documented by microsoft.

    hi guys!

    i resolved the problem...

    it's all about authentication.
    i have to insert my windows admin authentication in the service properties of my server application so that it can run the app in admin mode.

    So i did it, and now i can run that command

    Regardless of anything else...


    cmd /C "net localgroup > C:\gList.txt"
    Is not right...
