Hello,
I'm opening a PDF File (e.g. "C:\test.pd f") in my windows forms vb.net
application using the following command:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("C:\test.pdf ")
On a machine with Win2000 everything works fine.
But on a machine with WinNT4.0 the command gives an error that the file
could not be found. But the file exists, the user has the right to open it
and the Acrobat Reader is installed. I can open the File via a doubleclick.
What is wrong with the Process.Start() function under WinNT4.0, I couldn't
find anything on google or in the MSDN. The MSDN lists WinNT4.0 under the
platforms which support the function.
Can anyone help me?
thanks a lot,

Try launching it as a CLI switch to the reader
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("C:\Path to Reader\AcroRead 32.Exe
C:\test.pdf")

I found out what is wrong. My exact call looked like this:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("""" & strPDFFile & """")
Win2000 can handle those "" which the operating system gets by this call but
WinNT4.0 cannot handle them. I made those masking because I thought it would
be necessary due to spaces in the filename, but it works like this:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(strPDFFile)
even if there are spaces in the filename.
Thanks for your replies,

problem of the particular process I am starting is that it has a welcome

other words it means that the process name is the same, but the handle I need

Hi,
I would like to start a new process and be able to read/write from/to

p.stdin.write("hostname\n")
however, it doesn't seem to work. I think the cmd.exe is catching it.

Could someone please explain why the Socket.Send is slow to send to the same

Please can someone explain.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
