hi,
i have a problem with executing external programs from my own program,the
problem is that i have to execute setup.exe from autorun.exe so i can run
setup.exe
or play.exe or uninstall.exe if the program is uninstalled or
installed.Actually
im using 'system()' function but it appears to run bad because it opens a
dos window
and it hangs system sometimes (only with setup.exe) the question is this:

usually games have an autorun.exe that calls setup.exe or play ... so :
?do you know how can you do these calls in builder (5)?

(system() function doest work with setup.exe generated by installshield).

thanks.

pd:pardon my english.
