slipppppp told me that you're supposed to use \\ rather than \ when typing paths in c++,
which seemed logical since \ gave

while \\ didnt
Either way, neither of them worked

Eh, wasn't familiar with path naming conventions and their intricacies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(computing)#Uniform_Naming_Convention
Grouped under a naming convention, so I assumed it had something to do with it, to denote that it is not an "escape character" as wikipedia says. Anyways, still using MASM so I've never encountered the "\\". Night.

If you just want to run a program, why not just use WinExec?
| Code: | #include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
if(WinExec("c:\\nexon\\maplestory\\maplestory.exe"))
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
else
printf("error: %u", GetLastError());
getchar();
return EXIT_FAILURE;
} |

But yeah, just in-case you guys haven't realised yet, it's '\\' because '\' is used for other commands like \n (New line).
'\\' just makes it use a \ for use in writing text/directories.
