Accessing VB in another partition using c/c++ compiler

[Guest_imported]

I keep thinking of system() but what is exactly the command that lets you start an exe from a c/c++ program? What I want to do is since I have win98 and win2k on the same computer and a seperate partition for my compilers and the c++ compiler is accessible from both OS's and VB is not accessible from win98 (I installed both while in win2k) that when I am in win98 I can run VB through a small c/c++ program.

Use the CreateProcess API to start another program from C++. However, I don't think that what you are trying to do will work. You are going to need to run the VB setup while in Win98 since certain DLLS will need to be registered with the OS . . . you are not going to be able to run the uninstalled VB using c++ just because C++ was installed on the Win98 partition. - Jeff Marler B-)

Okay, but the c++ was installed from win2k.
I have three drives:c:win98,d:compilers,e:win2k
all are fat32
all compilers installed from win2k.
But thanks for pointing me to DLLs.
