Aloha,

Trying to use the TProcess object of fpc 1.0.6 for Win32 on Win2k and I've studied the process.txt file found in the FCL win32 source directory but can't get past a compiler error that claims "wrong number of parameters specified". Program source and compiler output follow. Can anyone see what my problem is?

Mahalo,
Ron

program proctest;
uses Process;
var myProc : TProcess;
begin
   myProc := TProcess.Create( 'c:\my-fpc\initest.exe', [ poNoConsole,
poWaitOnExit ]);
   myProc.Execute;
   myProc.Destroy;
end.

The readme file is outdated :/

Try this instead:

  Myproc:=Tprocess.Create(Nil);
  Myproc.Commandline:='c:\my-fpc\initest.exe';
  Myproc.Options:=[poNoConsole,poWaitOnExit];
  MyProc.Execute;

I'll adapt the readme file.

Michael.

Michael,

That worked like a charm!

Thanks for the lightning-fast response,
Ron
