Does Windows have its own 'call other .exe' function (C++)

Question

I know in C++ there is a function

system(\"example.exe\");

that runs another program, put it requires the include stdlib.h.

Answer 1

There is CreateProcess to run a specific executable, or ShellExecute to run programs or open documents with their associated program.

If portability to other platforms is any issue at all, I'd stick with system. #including stdlib.h won't kill you ;)
