>>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.

>>>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.

Great. Glad it worked. And as far as I can tell this is only due to the way the variable is being checked for existence. But at least it is working :-)
