function ExecApp(AppPath, Parameters: string): boolean;

 

This function executes an external application and returns immediately (spawns an external asynchronous process).
The function doesn't wait for the executed up to terminate, thus the return value only says if it was possible to launch the application or not.

 

Parameters

AppPath

The fully qualified path to the application to be run

Parameters

Optional command-line parameters to be passed to the launched application

 

Return value

Boolean

Returns True if the application was launched (started) successfully, otherwise it will return False
