How can we do this. How can we run .exe from a c++ program.
Suppose I have a file located in C: name "abc.exe".
Now how will I execute this "abc.exe" file from a c++ program????????

Assuming Windows, this fires up notepad:
Code:HANDLE open_notepad() { STARTUPINFO si = {sizeof( STARTUPINFO)}; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; CreateProcess( "c:\\windows\\notepad.exe", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &si, &pi); return pi.hProcess; }
Or perheps something like this if you do managed:
Code:System::Diagnostics::Process::Start("C:\\abc.exe");
Managed is not C++. C++/CLI is a managed language, and usually they mean "native" C++.
