hi!

I have developed an application in which launches a Word document and print
it using Win32 API ShellExecuteEx. It works fine on my machine (WinXP Pro
SP2). It launches Word successfully and then closes it. But on few of the
clients machine ShellExecuteEx function just launhes MS Word's main window,
but doesn't open Word document to send the print stream to printer. Clients
machines have same specifications like mine. I posted this question on few
Microsoft's forum. but no statisfactory reply. Then i search it on Google
and found the 2 to 3 same questions on forums. One of them was replied to
upgrade SP2. but i haven't found any SP2 patch on net.

I am too much upset about this problem. because its totaly an unbeleiveable
behavior of WinXP.

Anybody there to give me a helping hand.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible that the .doc file isn't in your system's PATH on those
machines that don't work? Have you tried calling up the .doc file with a
full path to it?
