- I've written some code to simulate launching a process as if it were
- launched by the workbench. The code works flawlessly, with one single
- problem. The new process never ends up with correct command paths setup.
- The assigns ARE setup, but not the paths. Now I've compared both the
- WBStartup message and the Process structure that my code ends up creating
- with that created when the same process is run by the workbench and can
- find NO differences between WBStartup messages and no differences in the
- resulting process structures that can't be expected (addresses and such.)
- Now does any one know: how does a task spawned by the workbench get a
- command path...where does it come from and how to I get my code to set
- this up correctly. It does not (contrary to what I saw someone post) get
- sent by the WBStartup message. This message contains the name of the new
- process and lock on its directory as well as the names of any arguments
- and locks on their directories. So what gives?
-
- Thanks in advance,
- Robert.
