System exec failure

[Peter_Vijn2]

Please help if you can: I try to call an .exe file from within a LabVIEW application, using System Exec.vi. I get error 2: Memory is full. See the attached code for winword.exe, but any exe refuses to run.

Somehow the attachment did not appear in my original message. This is a retry....

HI

I think U have to wire expected output size. Try that might be it will solve your problem.

All that you have to do is put "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\winword.exe" into the command line.

That helped Dennis! Thanks a lot for your help. I just assumed that the directory path wired to System Exec.vi would automatically switch to the proper application. The 'Memory full' error didn't help much to solve, but I can live with that.
