correct path for windows using launch

emo

this code don't work on windows

launch (sketchPath("programa/test.exe"));

This code works on mac

launch (sketchPath("programa/test.app"));

myapp.exe

programa (directory)

-->test.exe

What is the correct path n windows for launch a external app from my aplication?

GoToLoop

If the app isn't inside sketch's own folder, it makes no sense to call sketchPath() or dataPath()!
You're gonna need its full path instead! Perhaps something like this? :-/
launch("C:/Program Files/programa/test.exe");

the problem is that i don't know where the user are going to install the program. In windows don't work launch("/programa/test.exe"); but in OSX works.

GoToLoop

Then it's better ask the user for the file w/ selectInput() then:

ok, i see. But if y put test.exe in the root directory where the main aplication is, launch ("test.exe") will work under windows os?

GoToLoop

Windows OS got more than 1 "root" directory!
Each 1 is 1 letter, like "C:\" for example. :-B

je, I mean: My aplication is in, for instance in "C:\myaplication", the name: program.exe, and inside program.exe is a button that call test.exe, wich is in the directory myaplication also. in windows launch("test.exe") works?

GoToLoop

If "test.exe" is inside the same folder as your ".pde" file, then you can use sketchPath() on it!
