These functions are typically very thin wrappers around the corresponding Win32 API so you can usually use Microsoft's documentation to answer questions like these. In this case it would appear that if you specify the executable name in appName then the search path is not used. If, instead, you specify it in the commandLine parameter the search path is used. The details are at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dllproc/base/createprocess.asp Does this explain what you are observing?
