Error while setting up enviroment for this application

[valery]

I have a java program that needs to execute a C program during its operation. I have used the following line of code in my program:

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("SRTPUT");

It compiles fine but when i run the program it returns to me this error:

16 bit MS-DOS Subsystem
C:\WINDOES\system32\ntvdm.exe
Error while setting up environment for this application. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application

what's the problem?

thanks

Try something simple does this work?

Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("notepad");
p.waitFor();

[valery]

it worked, but why do I have to add this line? what does it mean?
thanks brianhks

So does your application work if you add p.waitFor()?

p.waitFor tells java to wait until the process has finished before exiting.

Hello guys,

I have the same problem executing an java application. I didn't compiled this application. Is there any chance to fix it?

btw: I am using Windows Vista Premium - on XP the applications works fine.

It is an web application that executes these files:
