I am just trying to connect a manual written in HTML to my lite-c script. I thought it should work with : exec("Manual.htm",""); but it does not. Seems the exec() accepts .exe files, only. I even tried the absolute path to iexplore.exe as filename and Manual.htm as command-line parameter. Then, Internet Explorer starts, but finds no content.
I was offline some days, thanks for the answers, but I tried IE with full path and my *.htm as parameter with full path, also. Does not work, IE starts but cannot identify the file. Unfortunately, I do not have a S/W to produce an .exe file. Will try to find a function at WIN API. Hope there is something.
Calling IE was correct, but if you want to pass files to an internet browser, you need the prefix "file://" (instead of "http://"). Otherwise your browser will start to look in the internet for that file.
