Subject: bug#21323: start-process rejects .com executables
Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2015 19:24:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALG+76c3OQbvob80Rhu=0RV_FK9RbrP4U6piEXjBYMh4MK9OEQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I found this bug on windows ver 24.5.1. If you try to run a .com file:
(start-process "X" "Y" "c:/Windows/System32/tree.com")
You get: "Spawning child process: exec format error"
The cryptic error appears to be a result of the .com extension. IIRC
it worked in 23.x so this problem is a regression.
