Start exe as child of explorer.exe
I try to start an exe file (not from me) which need to be a child process of explorer.exe to run fine.
If I use os.startfile or win32api.Shellexecute it doesn't work fine.
I found this : http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/run_from_process.html
With running :
from win32api import ShellExecute
RFPexp = r'D:RunFromProcess-x64.exe'
myFilePath = 'path omyfile.exe'
args = 'nomsg explorer.exe %s' %myFilePath
ShellExecute(0,'Open', RFPexp, args, None, 1)
Then myfile.exe is a child process of explorer.exe and all works well.
The problem is that it relies on this utility, which I dunno if it will be maintain, stays free, keep compatible with windows in the future, etc etc
So how could I do that with python itself ?
Thanks
