How to run an exe using c prog
- by Ujjwal
Hi All,
I am new to this forum. I am in need of a program in C that runs an exe file in Windows.
While googling I found the code below :
1.
Code:
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
(void)system("C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe");
return 0;
}
The above code compiles successfully in Borland Turbo C. But it fails to run Notepad.

Code:
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
int result ;
result=system("C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe");
printf("%d",result);
}
The above code on running gives -1 as output. Why am I getting -1.
My OS Windows XP
Borland Turbo C Compiler
Please help.
