WaitForSingleObject problem

[smoothcoder]

Hi there.
I'm currently developing a setup application and I need to launch MSDE setup exe from my app. I use CreateProcess for launching MSDE setup; the problem is that I would like my app to wait for the completion of the MSDE setup program and then to display a MessageBox("MSDE setup complete&quot from MY app. I use WaitForSingleObject(handle, INFINITE) after the call to CreateProcess... but there comes a problem: the MSDE setup process seems to block. if I Ctrl+Alt+Del MY app, then the MSDE setup goes on successfully. WHY??
Is there any solution?

Thanks a lot, guys!

I belive you dont need to use threads unless you want your app to continue doing things in the background. A call to "system" will return the code from the install. Usually, a return of zero is successful. System wont return until it is complete.

Matt, could you write down two or three lines of code for me, please?
Thanks in advance!
