Hello,

I've got a problem with starting an appilcation out of Max.
I'm using CreateProcess and it works fine with some programs such as "calc" or "notepad". But many programs are just a process and are working in the background with no window or so. So for instance "cmd".

How can I avoid that, so that the app starts normally?

Unfortunately, "System_" isn't an alternative as the calling program has to work on.

I appreciate any hints

regards,
