Microsoft Vista and os.exec

[franko353]

I have wxPython programs that work fine in Win2000/XP using os.exec().

They do not work in MS Vista. Has anyone else had any luck with
exec()?

I keep getting an 'invalid option' error.

It turn out it was really a security issue and I had to move to a
"win32process.CreateProcess" solution to fix this under Vista.

There is a good example of using CreateProcess in the "Python
programming on Win32" book.

I've also had issues with Vista... mine have to do with the execution of
scripts. I don't have a test vista box in front of me right now, all of
my vmware vistas have deactivated me into 'reduced functionality mode'.
Basically, on XP, when I execute a script it runs in the directory
that it executed in, but in Vista, it executes elsewhere... I don't
remember where exactly right off the top of my head. Other than that
issue it seems to work fine even with wxPython.
