Hello,
I am trying to do a small launcher for a Windows application
which (in order to be portable) requires a specific parameter,
and I am getting this error when I try to run it in Windows 7
SP1:
"std.process.ProcessException@std\process.d(518): Failed to
spawn new process (Access denied.)"
This is the code I am trying to use:
import std.stdio, std.file, std.path, std.string, std.process;
static auto appname = "myapp";
int main(string[] args) {
auto appath = dirName(thisExePath());
auto appexe = buildPath(appath, appname ~ ".exe");
auto appini = buildPath(appath, appname ~ ".ini");
auto applaunchpars = format(`"%s" /ini="%s"`, appexe, appini);
if (exists(appexe)) {
auto appPid = spawnProcess(applaunchpars, ["" : ""],
Config.suppressConsole);
scope(failure) return -1;
}
return 0;
}
The ugly ["" : ""] hack is because I haven't been able to
invoke spawnProcess otherwise, at least withouth specifying
stdin and stdout (which I don't really need right now).
Actually, I was thinking in making my own wrapper for
ShellExecuteA (I don't find spawnProcess particularly
intuitive), but I would prefer "the D way".
Anyway, Where could the problem be?
Regards, Hugo
You need to pass the INI parameters separately see:
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_process.html#.spawnProcess
spawnProcess([appexe,format("/INI=%s")], ["",""],
Config.suppressConsole);

Pressed send too fast:
1) Separately = As an array
2) And I also forgot the appini variable
So I think this should work:
spawnProcess([appexe,format("/INI=%s",appini)],
["",""],Config.suppressConsole);
