Has anything changed in runshell between builds 331 and 355?
This works fine in 331:

runshell('/c fbzip.exe')

But in 355 I get an error. Doesn't matter if I put whole path in or just eXE name (which is in curDir)

here's the error:
ERROR LOG of "D:\alaska\altwin355\Util\BkupPRG\BKUPPRG.EXE" Date: 11/13/2010 12:43:35

It seems to be a windows 7 issue... if I run it on xp it runs fine. When I run it on win 7 I get the error. Is there a change in commamd line syntrax for win 7 within xbase?

When I run the command from a command prompt in win 7, it runs fine... but when I try to do it with a runshell wirhin an EXE, I get the error.

Attached is a complete setup...with a simple command line compression utility, files, and everything.

any help will be appreciated.

The /c option is asking to open up a command shell. This may be due to the non-support of DOS programs under Windows 7.

I don't think so... it works fine if I open a command prompt and type in the command, but not when I run it thru a RunShell() in xbase. Also, I found out today that it works fine on 2008 server (which I think is 7 based). I'm gong to try it on some other win 7 machines and see if it's every win 7 or just my developmnt notebook (for some reason). But thanks for the thought.
