Createprocess Error 193 Eclipse
vote favorite The code below fails to start documents. I get error 193 (%1 is not a valid Win32 app). Starting executables work fine. The files are properly associated, they start the corresponding app when double clicked. I have searched SO and elsewhere for the error message, createprocess stuff etc. (E.g. Why is CreateProcess failing in Windows Server 2003 64-bit? I know about quoting the command line. This is a Delphi java createprocess error 193 XE2 (Update 4) Win32 app in a Win7 64bit VMWare VM. The code also fails on the host machine (Win7 64 bit) and in a Virtual PC VM with 32bit XP. The apps that should start in the Win7 VM (Excel 2003 and Crimson Editor) are 32 bit. The failure occurs both when starting from the IDE or when running the test app standalone It used to be Delphi2007 code, the compiled D2007 app where this code comes from works fine everywhere. What's wrong with the code? It's almost as if I'm overlooking something very obvious.... Thanks in advance, Jan procedure StartProcess(WorkDir, Filename: string; Arguments : string = ''); var StartupInfo : TStartupInfo; ProcessInfo : TProcessInformation; lCmd : string; lOK : Boolean; LastErrorCode: Integer; begin FillChar( StartupInfo, SizeOf( TStartupInfo ), 0 ); StartupInfo.cb := SizeOf( TStartupInfo ); StartupInfo.dwFlags := STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW; StartupInfo.wShowWindow := sw_Normal; FillChar( ProcessInfo, SizeOf( TProcessInformation ), 0 ); lCmd := '"' + WorkDir + FileName + '"'; // Quotes are needed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/265650/paths-and-createprocess if Arguments <> '' then lCmd := lCmd + ' ' + Arguments; lOk := CreateProcess(nil, PChar(lCmd), nil, nil, FALSE, // TRUE makes no difference 0, // e.g. CREATE_NEW_CONSOLE or NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS makes no difference nil, nil, // PChar(WorkDir) makes no difference StartupInfo, ProcessInfo); if lOk then begin try WaitForSingleObject(ProcessInfo.hProcess,

You can do it of course with varialbes, it is not necessary to set the values directly like I did in the example.

Can you start java.exe if you call it i.e. from comand line ?

I put the first simple programs into Notepad++, saved them, and ran them in the CMD Window of Windows 7. All went as expected. Then I learned I could install the createprocess failed with NPPExec plugin and run the programs straight from Notepad++. Heaven :) I did the install of NPPExec right from Notepad++ (nothing fancy) and I get the referenced error, every time I run ANY program. I've tried various options, saving the file, changing the extension from .TXT to .PL, etc. Nothing changes. I've read ALL of the documentation on NPPExec and found no inspiration there. Is there some kind of additional setup I need to do? This has got to be some incredibly dumb user error, right? Here is the simplest program that fails. +++++ use 5.010; use strict; use warnings; say "Hello World"; +++ And the console window shows: +++ C:\Users\Mike\Desktop\TOOLS\programming\Hello.txt CreateProcess() failed with error code 193: ================ READY ================ +++ This program runs as expected from the CMD window. Any help will be greatly appreciated. My bottle of aspirin is nearly empty. :) If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link: Mike D
