system() call within C++ program

[BKURUVALLI]

Hi,

I am using VC++ 6.0
I am using the system method to run a wsh script.

system("wscript run.js"

the run.js should open iexplorer and do stuff.

It opens a command prompt and waits. The script gets executed once I close the command prompt.
I tired to run the hello.js directly

system("run.js"

but it still opens the command prompt and waits.
This behaviour is not consistent with all desktops I run it on.

How can I get the script to run without the command prompt opening consistently.

Thx,
Bharath

use CreateProcess("", "wscript yourscript.js" .....

Is better as Ion said but you can put in a .bat file like here:
// mybatch.bat file
wscript run.js

and call system:
system("C:\\temp\\1.bat"

Take a look at:
>but it still opens the command prompt and waits.
calling of system("some_xxx.bat&quot also will open the command prompt.

The createprocess works fine. Eventhough it opens the command prompt , it does not wait on anything. The script runs and the command prompt window closes by itself.

I was wondering if I need to do something after the createprocess call. close handle etc...

you can do CreateProcess("", "yourscript.js"
