Executing a win32 console application from within the VM
Hi,
I'm trying to execute a relatively new Fortran executable that was compiled as a win32 console application.
What I'm doing is:
Runtime run;
Process proc = run.exec(pathToExecutable + parameters, null, ExecutePath)
proc.waitFor();
The log from the Fortran executable indicates that it managed to start but it seems to get stuck before printing anything to the console (even though log output from the Fortran executable to a file is fine) and the task manager confirms the process starts but just doesn't do anything. Ordinarily when executing the program under WinXP a console opens up to displaying computation progress.
So I am thinking that the calls to printing to the screen in Fortran are blocking and since no console is available to print to the process gets stuck and doesn't complete (although I have no evidence for this). In fact any attempts I made at opening a console from within the VM (via the cmd.exe in system32) failed.
As you may have noticed this is my first attempt at running another executable from the VM so I hope I am unaware of something that can solve my problem. If you know about it please tell me.
Thank you
