ASM Community

Hi i want to use the Commandline in CreateProcess. I used it before without problems. But now i have a COM File with parameters and it doesntwork with CreateProcess. When i use a BAT File with this Command:

rl.com pefile.exe new_res.res

the comfile works and replace the resource of the pe file.

and here is my masm code:

.386p			

.model flat, stdcall

option casemap :none

end main

i also check the msdn library for CreateProcess. But there was not much usefullinfo about handlig com files.

Or maybe the problem is the com file (rl.com) itself ???

problem is solved. i wrote a procedure which u can easy implent to your asm codes.
