Unless your app needs administrator privileges, CreateProcess has not changed in Vista. This is more likely to be some kind of configuration problem. Do you know exactly what command line it is trying to run? Are you able to execute that command by hand from a command shell? You can get that error if you try to execute a 64-bit application in Win32, but I don't know why it would be trying that. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. _______________________________________________ python-win32 mailing list python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
