How do I launch an executable?

I'm writing a serial client / server program that will remotely execute an application on the target system.  Only thing I'm missing is launching the exe from the code.  What library / functions can dynamically launch an exe given the path and filename?

 

Thanks!

Have you tried System Exec?

I forgot to mention. I'm working with LabWindows CVI... writing C code. Not Lab View code. So I don't think I have access to that VI you speak of.

Then you should post to the CVI board instead of LabVIEW.
