like wise, if you launch a windoze app from CMD (usign the shell function),
the CMD will block completely MC until your release the Win App...
It really sucks... Haven't found a workaround though...

# Subject: open process & quit
#
#
# Hi again folks,
#
# Some of you might remember the question I asked
# about 12 days ago about opening processes under
# Windoze.
#
# I made some more investigations on this topic, and
# it looks like on Mac, processes can be opened (and
# apps launched) by a MC standalone, and when it
# quits, all apps & processes remain open.
#
# OTOH on Win, things are different : a MC standalone
# kills all processes it opened (and all apps it launched)
# when quiting (or closing).
# For instance, if your standalone opens a browser or
# another standalone, everything will quit when your
# standalone quits or is closed.
#
# Fortunately, there's a workaround for this problem.
# Actually, I needed to detect the presence of QT during
# a preopenstack, then launch QTinstaller if no QT and
# quit the stack. Of course, QTinstaller would quit shortly
# after launching, when the calling MC app would quit.
#
# Here's what I did : I built another (small) standalone
# that just launches QTinstaller on openstack.
# This new standalone is launched by the main MC app
# on preopenstack.
# The idea looks like this :
# App1 --> App2 --> QTinstall
#
# And the script in App1 :
# on preopenstack
# get QTversion()
# if = 0 then launch App2
# wait 500
# quit
#
# When App1 quits, it also quits App2, but NOT the
# process opened by App2 (QTinstaller in that case).
#
# Finally, when QT installation is over, App1 & App2
# have quit long time ago (and in a very clean manner).
#
# I would apreciate is anyone has comments and/or
# similar experience to share on this topic...
#
# Thanks
# JB
