Question

I want to call a c++ executable from a java program. But after I call it, nothing happens. Then after I close the program, there an error window appears, which says abnormal program termination.

The code looks like this :

    try {
            Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
            Process p = rt.exec("discretize.exe");


        } catch (Exception exc) {/*handle exception*/
            exc.printStackTrace();
        }

and the windows error that appears look like this :

Answer 1

Finally I found the answer.

The problem was the command prompt didn’t show up. So after searching google, I found a tip that suggested I simply put:

cmd /c start

before the path of the file. So I changed my code to look like this:

Process myProcess = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(“cmd /c start D:\A_TA\KODINGAN\TA\src\discretize.exe”);

.. and voila, the command prompt shows!
