Difference between CMD and WinExplorer?

[Guest]

When trying to launch a simple aplication from WinExplorer everything works
OK but when launching the application from CMD or VisualC++ it crashes.

Without going into details I assume WinExplorer does something with the
environment. Anyone knows what? The issue relates to networking and WinXPSP2.

TIA,
Tom

Perhaps your Command Processor got corrupted or replaced
by cmd.com. Invoke your Command Prompt explicitely with
this command:

c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe

then try again.

No, I'm afraid that's not where the problem is.

I'm running VisualC++6.0SP5 and I think there is something with winsock.h,
fd_set, FD_SET and FD_ZERO.

It seems as if WinExplorer gets som permissions to accesss the network I/F
that I don't get when running the application from CMD or when executing
directly from VC++.

Are there any XPSP2 security policies involved here?

TIA,
Tom
