There are a number of ways to deal with this. The easiest will be to have your batch file call `start /B yourprogram.exe` after setting up the environment. There will be a console window opened when you launch the batch file and then immediately closed. Another relatively easy way is to use an Application Path and then you can simply run your executable. http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/dll/article.php/c99 Another (probably more elegant) way of doing this is to have a launcher application that sets up your environment and does any other prep, then implicitly loads your application (using LoadLibraryEx) (this is what gaim and GIMP do).

If you're trying to do this in an executable that depends on GTK+, then it is too late - unless all of the dependencies are satisfied the application cannot be run. -D _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
