CreateProcess() has two executable name related parameters (appName, commandLine) and Windows uses different search strategy for each one of them. If you want Windows to search for your executable using PATH you should use None instead of appName and pass the name of executable in commandLine parameter. As to environment parameter, you should always set it to None, unless you want to completely redefine the environment. By the way, you shouldn't count on pywin32 help. They don't aim to reproduce MSDN. So when in doubt use Microsoft's help. It is clear and well written. -- Andrey _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
