Hi,
I need a program which only execute another application and I wrote the following one.

Program Acrobat;
uses Dos;
begin
 Exec('AcroRd32.exe','');
end.

If I run this program the DOS console is openning
and it is closing after I close Acrobat Viewer.
What I have to do that DOS console wouldn't show.

Do you know
-WG option?
Did you try it?
It should solve your problem.

Also check the JCL on www.delphi-jedi.org

Getting some routines to work out of the (delphi orientated) JCL might be less work than trying to figure out M$ Api :-)

Use windows api functions.
A.e. WinExec, CreateProcess (unit windows, see documentation).

From: "Rimgaudas Laucius"

There's also a TProcess class (in the unit Process) that is easier to use than the Windows units' CreateProcess function.
