RE: [Digital BW] New Quadtone RIP and GUI doing nothing

2004-12-29 by Stephen Billard

Well, that is a good question. The log file is an exact copy of the batch
file that QTRgui created. So, for some reason on your computer, the batch
file won't execute when run from a program.

The differences are:

1. The name of the file is different. The batch file QTRgui creates has a
temporary name generated by Windows. The file resides in your temporary file
location.

2. It is run by an "Execute" function call rather than from the command
window.

Can you think of any security settings or such that would prevent a program
from spawning another program?
