Question

I did below:

subst A: "C\Desktop"

Now from java code:

String command= "java -jar A:\test.jar"
Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

The JVM seems to be hanged here and never executing this line. When i run through "java -jar C:\Desktop\test.jar". It executes succefully.

Does Runtime.getRuntime doesn’t resolve virtual hardrive?
Thanks

I assume you have \\t and not \t and you are reading from the error stream so you can see any errors. \t is the tab character.

(The joys of MS-DOS using \ as a path separator 😉

Dump out the error you are getting and you should see the problem.
