So I think this should work:
spawnProcess([appexe,format("/INI=%s",appini)],
["",""],Config.suppressConsole);
Hmm... that did not work either, it complained that the parameter was
not correct. Actually, the syntax I was using should have worked
(according to documentation, second overload of spawnProcess), and I
also (unsuccessfully) tried with function execute.
Anyway, since my launcher will only be run from Windows, finally I
decided to call ShellExecuteA directly (I find it less cumbersome to use
and actually more elegant).
However, something is bothering me: when running the launcher, it opens
a console temporarily before launching the other process (even when I am
not using std.stdio) and I cannot get rid of this behavior.
This is the code I am now using:
import std.file: exists, getcwd;
import std.path: buildPath, dirName;
import std.string: format, toStringz;
import core.sys.windows.windows;
immutable static auto appname = "myapp";
extern(Windows) HANDLE ShellExecuteA(HWND, LPCSTR, LPCSTR, LPCSTR,
LPCSTR, int);
int main(string[] args) {
auto appath = getcwd();
auto appexe = buildPath(appath, appname ~ ".exe");
if (exists(appexe)) {
auto param = format(`/ini="%s"`, buildPath(appath, appname ~
".ini"));
ShellExecuteA(null, "", toStringz(appexe), toStringz(param), "",
SW_SHOWMAXIMIZED);
scope(failure) return -1;
}
return 0;
}
Why does the console window appear and how can I prevent this?
