I am having problems with _execv, or _spawnv functions.

[sjn]

First let me say that this is a great forum. You folks have helped so much periodically throughout the last month and a half. This problem is actually one of two of the last problems I have encountered.

I have developed a front-end utility to determine an appropriate setup directory to install an MS Access application. The front end determines the appropriate directory on the installation media, and then executes the setup.exe program.

I have tried the following and am experiencing an access violation as it tries to execute.

x_flg = _execv(<programPathStr>,(const char *const *)&quot; -option&quot;

or

x_flg = _spawnv(_P_NOWAIT, <programPathStr>, (const char *const *)&quot; -option&quot;

Any suggestions?

Again, my deepest thanks for all of your help.

Scott.
