System() call to .exe Processing file doesn't work!
Hi,
I exported my Processing project, which renders as P3d, successfully. The .exe file works, even from the command line. I need to run this executable from a c++ program. When I call system("Project_name.exe") on it, it doesn't open up the file. I checked the path by opening other types of files like .txt successfully. I also tried it with system("start Project_name.exe")and it gives the same input.
Is it because its not reading java with the app properly? The java folder is also in the same directory. Please help!
Note: I understand system calls are not the best approach. I also used CreateProcess but was not successful. I think the file is opened but the frame and contents doesn't display.
Thank you

BTW, Im using VB 13 Pro as my IDE
In system calls, it is often possible to specify the start up directory; maybe you should define it, if possible.
I ran a batch file executing the file and it worked!
