I am trying to launch an app using the Shell method. However I get an area which says "System Primitive Failed"
When I go to the apps .exe file and click it it wont launch. However the icon on my desktop leads me to a "Windows NT Command Shell" which when I double click launches the app.
The command shell reads :-
SET ___COMPAT_LAYER = 256Color
START ...\Program\Phil.exe
How do I incorporate this into the Shell and SendKeys methods to launch and manipulate the app.
(By the way before anyone mentions it - the app is old and rubbish and I dont have access to any object model info!)
