[Mono-list] shell does not work on Widnwos Vista

[Stephen Liu]

Hi Jonathan,


Thanks for your advice and URL.

I'm now learning mono/GTK# on mono making a cross platform .exe.  The shell.exe which I'm testing is only a test sample created/compiled by me on mono


On Window Vista "Command Prompt"

C:>@start "" /b "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" %*
IE started without problem


On Mono-2.6.3 Command Prompt run
C:>mono \path\to\shell.exe

It starts the small window.  

On the said window run;
@start "" /b "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" %*

OR
@start "" /b "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" www.mono-project.com


The small window crashes with following warnings printed on Mono Command Prompt:-
Marshaling clicked signal
Exception in Gtk# callback delegate
Note: Applications can use GLib.ExceptionManager.UnhandledException to handle
the exception.

Could you please explain in more detail.  Whether to edit the codes and recompile the same?  Then can the program work on Linux?

TIA

'firefox' is not a program on Windows.  You will have to find where 
firefox.exe is on the target machine, and then use the full path to it.

- Or -

If you just want to open a web page in the user's default browser, use:

Process.Start ("http://www.mono-project.com");

This will work on every system.
