ShellAndWait not Waiting

[RSJIG]

has anyone ever had any problems with the shellandwait not actually waiting. My prog has worked so far on approx 200 computers but is not working at all on One system.

OS: 95 B

Yes - CreatePRocess & WaitForSingleObject always work.

See this thread for code:

This IS what I am using. Like i said before, it is only 1 out of the local 200 computers that is is breezing right by the shelland wait call.

It is opening the process, it is just not WAITING!

We had it running on Win 95 -> Win2K on over 300 PC's on our lan.

I would suspect that the PC in question has some other serious problem. Don't think it is the code.

If it's Win 95 - you do know that support for 95 vanishes in 9 weeks? The current SP6 for Win 95 will no longer be available.
MS will no longer provide any Win95 support. Period.

Now would be a good time to think a LOT about at least going to Win 98. Or SP6 on that machine.

Where do you get SP6?

[jim mcnamara]

It's a download off Windows Update - also a $6.00 CD if you don't want to download 175MB.

I searched for 95 and SP6 and came up with nothing. If you could give a direct link, I would really appreciate it.

I don't see the SP stuff listed, part of SP2 is there, part of SP3 and a lot of other stuff.

I must be mistaken about the current Service Pack release.

However, the page for downloads is:
