Difficulties with system() call

Hi folks,

I am trying to get a CGI program running under Apache on windows, it
originally targeted IIS and is written in C++.

My problem is that the system("fop.bat ...") call causes an internal
server error, whereas a test shows that the windows API call
CreateProcess() does not have this problem.

Can anyone suggest a configuration setting that might affect the
operation of the system() call?

Thanks for your help. :-)

This have nothing to do with Apache, you'd better post this on
some windows-programming related groups.

Therefore, Alexander the Great had an infinite number of arms.

Well I figure it is related to apache somehow. I'm not too sure, but it
might be that the system() call on windows actually spawns cmd.exe, is
there something in the configuration of apache that would prevent this?
