regarding spawnProcess and parameters in Windows

[Hugo Florentino]

Hello,

I am trying to do a small launcher for a Windows application which (in 
order to be portable) requires a specific parameter, and I am getting 
this error when I try to run it in Windows 7 SP1:

"std.process.ProcessException at std\process.d(518): Failed to spawn new 
process (Access denied.)"

This is the code I am trying to use:

import std.stdio, std.file, std.path, std.string, std.process;

static auto appname = "myapp";

int main(string[] args) {
   auto appath = dirName(thisExePath());
   auto appexe = buildPath(appath, appname ~ ".exe");
   auto appini = buildPath(appath, appname ~ ".ini");
   auto applaunchpars = format(`"%s" /ini="%s"`, appexe, appini);
   if (exists(appexe)) {
     auto appPid = spawnProcess(applaunchpars, ["" : ""], 
Config.suppressConsole);
     scope(failure) return -1;
   }
   return 0;
}

The ugly ["" : ""] hack is because I haven't been able to invoke 
spawnProcess otherwise, at least withouth specifying stdin and stdout 
(which I don't really need right now). Actually, I was thinking in 
making my own wrapper for ShellExecuteA (I don't find spawnProcess 
particularly intuitive), but I would prefer "the D way".

Anyway, Where could the problem be?

Regards, Hugo
