I believe you can not just use plain text to tell what exe/file to open. For example I've tried using
execute file "my.exe","nothing","C:/windows/desktop/",1. (Changing the "nothing" to whatever I need, however). I've found the best way to do this is to do the following with the help of strings:
rem set strings
name$="my.exe"
command$="0"
path$="C:/windows/desktop/"
execute file name$,command$,path$,1
That code will open the file "my.exe", the command just doesn't do anything (if you don't want anything to carry over), path$ is the obvious path or directory to the file, and "1" is the termination flag, which, will terminate the currently open file (the one that executed the exe file). [Which, can be excluded
]
I don't know if that is a DB glitch or not, it just doesn't work without the strings on my computer.
ALSO! Make sure that the .exe has already been created, and, that is has all of the files it needs (unless it is a final draft). NOTE: DB sometimes has problems when executing an existing exe directly from the compiler
