Try replacing lcInstallPath with a zero rather than an empty string. I think this will fix it. I just started using this API the other day and looking through the code it looks like Ed checks to see if that variable is a string. If it is a string it uses that as the path. If it is not a string it ignores it. Or you could try putting the g:\dev\newffa\programs as the lcInstallPath variable.

HTH,

>I am using the "Launch App and wait w/o RUN or DOS box" article Ed put on UT but I can't get it to work. I pass just the name portion which I set to include the directory referance ( to keep the test simple). I use the same var and issue the run command and it works but not from the LaunchAppAndWait. That always returns 0. Any ideas.
