Hello,

It looks like you may just have a syntax error.  See my post in the following thread which discusses a simple example which launches notepad.exe:

I think this will set you in the right direction!

USED BELOW COMMAND FOR RUN EXE USING LABVIEW.

cmd/ k(folled by exe adreess).

example:-cmd /k"D:\PROJECTS\builds\CMD\My Application\Application.exe"

Give this command to a system exec VI and click on run. it will run the exe.

No one is going to whip you for responding to an old thread. 😀 The usefulness is however often questionable.

As your response was a solution it might be helpful for future readers but it wasn’t fundamentally different to earlier solutions already posted in the thread.
