i was trying to make this code work (it was a test, i tried "create process" in the main program and it didnt work) but i found that it doesn't work with the command line, and when i put a NULL in the command line parameter it works perfect... but i need the command line parameter
this is the code, i tried a lot of things, but i'm feeling a little frustated... i'm trying to do something in fasm since last week (i'm a newbie in asm, i finished reading some tutorials las week)

format PE GUI
entry start

include '..\..\include\win32a.inc'

section '.data' data readable writeable

meemul db 'c:\fasmw161\meosemul\meosemul.exe'
progpath db 'c:\fasmw161\meosemul\guitest.bin'

section '.idata' import data readable writeable

library kernel,'KERNEL32.DLL'

import kernel,CreateProcess,'CreateProcessA',\
ExitProcess,'ExitProcess'

section '.udata' readable writeable
sinfo STARTUPINFO
pinfo PROCESS_INFORMATION
section '.code' code readable executable

start:
invoke CreateProcess,meemul,progpath,NULL,NULL,FALSE,NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,NULL,NULL,sinfo,pinfo
invoke ExitProcess,0

Put a null character after every text string, as follows:




Good luck

EDIT: no habia visto que eras de Argentina

thanx for the reply but it didn't work... now i'm frustated

jeje espero q alguien encuentre la solucion, ya me estoy volviendo loco jajaj

Read a carefully WinAPI manual. In principle it must to work, but is possible and can't. I can't a divine.

i have read the windows api reference, i can paste it complete, but i think it's not necesary, anyway i'll post the api declaration
the most strange thing is that i have worked with this api before, making a program in C and i didn't have any problem, but now in asm, the things are getting a little hard




The CreateProcess function creates a new process and its primary thread. The new process executes the specified executable file.

BOOL CreateProcess(

LPCTSTR lpApplicationName, // pointer to name of executable module
LPTSTR lpCommandLine, // pointer to command line string
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpProcessAttributes, // pointer to process security attributes
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpThreadAttributes, // pointer to thread security attributes
BOOL bInheritHandles, // handle inheritance flag
DWORD dwCreationFlags, // creation flags
LPVOID lpEnvironment, // pointer to new environment block
LPCTSTR lpCurrentDirectory, // pointer to current directory name
LPSTARTUPINFO lpStartupInfo, // pointer to STARTUPINFO
LPPROCESS_INFORMATION lpProcessInformation // pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION
);

hi! it really does not work and i do not know why, but if you want exactly just run look for these two working variants:


regards!

thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx now it's working, tahnx a lot to everyone

Wouldn't it be easier to tell Mike that MeOSEmulator should associate itself with MenuetOS header. I tried your code - it works, but doesn't give me any advantage...
A)
1. I compile ASM->MeOS
2. I drag&drop this to MeOSEmul.exe
B)
1. I compile ASM->MeOS
2. I run your program that in turn runs my MeOS binary with MeOSEmul

I tried messing with registry but I can't get the emulator to accept my parameters and FASM won't run .bin by default

hello madis i'lll explain you what i'm trying to do... the code that i posted was a test to try the api, the main program was the fasm IDE for win32, my idea is to make it "run" the menuetos compiled .bin with the emulator directly from the IDE (pressing F9 or clicking in "Run").
the api is working, but i don't know how to make it work with the path_buffer variable (inside fasmw.asm), i think that path_buffer doesn't finish with a null byte (0) and that is causing my modifications to not work, now i'm trying to find the way to work with strings to learn to solve my problem, if you have any documentation about that i would be very grateful... it should be easy for an experienced programmer but i started last week and it's my first program... well... is not my program, but you know what i mean... i hope this will be useful... thanx MenuetOS rulez
