Hi suresh,

it runs fine for me:

You may try the command line "cmd /c calc.exe" too.

Edit:

Did you give the command as "calc calc.exe" as your error dialog says?

Now i'm getting calculator window...

i have one third party exe in the name of DragonPCI.exe which do simply read and write operation

in a FPGA board..

when i give DrongPCI.exe in the command line it shows me the same error..

the same thing is happening for acrobat reader also..

Hi suresh,

when those programs aren't in the search path of Windows you have to set the complete path for the command!

Thanks dude..

Now i'm getting the required result..

Can i do i/o operations using LabVIEW on any other third party pci devices using their DLL's..

If you have dll's (API's), then you should use the Call Library Function Node.  Same palette as the System Exec.
