Hello,

I am trying to run jre.exe which is in c:\program files etc but
following compiles OK but when runs comes up with "bad command or file
name" under Windows 98(SE) - any suggestions please?

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

char *call = "c:\\program files\\javasoft\\jre\\1.1\\bin\\jre.exe";
system(call);

}


Cheers

Geoff
