Help with execute code

[Guest_imported]

I want to launch a game from my application with a combo box, how would i do that? I made it where i can launch paint, but that was because it didn't have a dir. look

// Did the user select to run Paint
if (strPgmName == "PAINT&quot
// Yes, run the program Paint
WinExec("Cbrush.exe", SW_SHOW);

It works, I don't get any errors if i use this but it doesn't launch the game.

// Did they choose Dh5
if (strPgmName == "DEER HUNTER 5&quot
// Yes, run the program Dh5
WinExec("Crogram Fileseer Hunter 5:Homeeer Hunter 5.exe", SW_SHOW);

what do i do??

Ok, that first one didn't work with the C: before it

// Did the user select to run Paint
if (strPgmName == "PAINT&quot
// Yes, run the program Paint
WinExec("pbrush.exe", SW_SHOW);

it has to look like that......sorry

Try maybe using a few backslahes, like:

WinExec("C:\\Program Files\\Deer Hunter 5\\Home\\Deer Hunter 5.exe", SW_SHOW);

Using the ShellExecute() function rather than WinExec() is recommended under Win32.

Hope that this helped!
