Use ShellExecute, ShellExecuteEx or CreateProcess functions. ShellExecuteEx is interesting because you receive the process handle (or ID) that you need to call WaitForSingleObject, WaitForMultipleObject and MsgWaitForMultipleObject you will need to wait until the process you launched is terminated and grab his ErrorLevel (ExitCode). -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
