Executing included file with command line parameter

[emperorevil]

Here's what I need to do:

There's this program that runs differently from executing it regularly and when you run it from a command line with the parameter TestPlay.

What I want to do is make another application that will automatically run file.exe as if it were executed with the TestPlay parameter.

How would I do this with minimal file size?

Replace YOURPROG.EXE with the actual filename. Small enough??


#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain ( HINSTANCE hInst,
HINSTANCE hPrevInst,
LPSTR lpCommandLine,
int cCmdShow )
{
STARTUPINFO su;
memset ( &su, 0, sizeof ( su ));
su.cb = sizeof ( su );
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
if ( CreateProcess ( NULL, &quot;YOURPROG.EXE TestPlay&quot;, NULL, NULL,
FALSE, 0, NULL, NULL, &su, &pi ))
{ CloseHandle ( pi.hProcess );
CloseHandle ( pi.hThread ); }
return 0; }

NOTE: You could also make a shortcut to your program and add the TestPlay parameter to the shortcut. In that case you wouldn't need any program at all.

Thanks a lot!

But, what I meant to say is how would I do it if it was all going to be one file. Like including file.exe within the application and running it with TestPlay. That's what I meant by minimal space.
