in reply to (tye)Re: Creating an independent process in Win32 in thread Creating an independent process in Win32
I determined the problem yesterday. The script was being launched from an application directly, and it was that application that wouldn't let the script stop executing until the browser window had been closed. When I disable the application's "Capture Output" option, it works fine.
The first way you poined out results in a "Bad Command or Filename" on my system, but your second suggestion works just as well as the one I'm using now, so I'll switch to it.
Thanks, eh!

Yeah, that is because I typoed "iexplorer", leaving off
the final "r".

I had noticed that when I tried it, and corrected the typo, but it was still the same. I'm pretty sure the problem is because IEXPLORE isn't really in the system path... you can go to Start > Run and type IEXPLORE and it will work, but from the DOS Console you have to specify IEXPLORE's directory. Pretty funky.
