WIN32 createprocess with Ada

WIN32 createprocess with Ada

[dpeterso]

I have been trying to do a createprocess call using Ada on WindowsNT.  The
call fails and getlasterror returns 3.	Does anyone have an example using Ada
that I may view or know what I am probably doing wrong.

Thanks

Dave P.

Take a look at the example "Using CreateProcess" on the Ada Source Code
Treasury:

http://www.botton.com/ada/os/win32-createprocess.html

and other Win32 examples at:

Without seeing the code you are using, there is no way of telling what you 
might be doing wrong.

I forgot to address the GetLastError issue. A return value of 3
indicates:

The system cannot find the path specified.
ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND

Don't forget to look at the example at:

Be well,

The most common reason for this is to forget to add ASCII.NUL to the
end of the string.
