How to call another exe from win 32 console app?I have used shell execute to call?
But while running the console app in cmd prompt after it returns.. the called app is also closing.. I would like to call an exe from a console app and the exe should run independently if the console app gets closed. Also for the exe to run as administrator and background -bg parameter to run as service?
