How to run other windows .exe program in Java code?

Hello!
In C language we can use system() function to run a OS prog,
but which function(method) can we use in java?

Not a top programmer here, just happen to like to play with funny ideas.
I'm not sure how you can get the installation directory, but you can obtain the OS type by using
System.out.println(System.getProperty("os.name"));
Then maybe you deduce the directory from there? For the list of properties available try this:
System.getProperties().list(new java.io.PrintStream(System.out));

How to run and control any program by java

hi everyone ,
I wonder that how to execute and control some menus or how to use some property of any program by java, not for the whole program, it's just only a few features of program.
Is there any idea?
if it's impossible to do with java , how can I do it? which way?
thanks a lot..

No. Applications have to be specifically built to be able to be controlled by other programs; for example office applications allow you to communicate with them through a special protocol. To be able to communicate you need to know the protocol and write specific code for specific tasks.
The software world is not as simple as they show in movies, where hackers just press two buttons and take control over entire buildings and applications.

I am trying to reinstall Windows on my macbook pro. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode."

I am trying to reinstall Windows (would not launch). I removed the partition and started over. I downloaded the support files and Windows 7 iso file to a USB drive. However, when I try to run the setup.exe program I get the message "this program cannot be run in DOS mode." I was successful before, what am I doing wrong this time?

Try a restart.
If that doesn't fix the problem, shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application unistaller. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

How do I run a windows pps program on my Iphone

How do I run a windows pps program on my Iphone?

I take you are asking about Microsoft Powerpoint here.
If so it can't by run on an iPhone since there is no iOS version of Powerpoint available.
A search of the App Store in iTunes will reveal that are bunches of apps that will work with Powerpoint on the iPhone.

How can i run a windows based program on mac book pro

Can I run a windows based program on mac book pro mountain lion 10.8.4

You can use bootcamp to install windows natively on the hard drive. You then choose which OS you wish to use at startup - OS X or Windows.
You can also install Windows in a virtual machine - Parallels or VMWare Fusion - and run it simultaneously with OS X (a virtual machine is just a PC emulated in software, and you install and run windows in the emulated machine hardware).

How to run a openssl command from a java program

Hi All
Please suggest on how to run a openssl command from a java program.
I am using this
Runtime runtime = Runtime.getRuntime();
runtime.exec("openssl pkcs8 -inform der -nocrypt test.der result.pem");
This is suppose to take test.der as input and create result.pem.
There are no errors but the file result.pem isnt created.
Thanks in Advance

First off is that openssl command correct? Should it be this instead:
openssl pkcs8 -inform der -nocrypt -in test.der -out result.pem
Try out your openssl command within a command prompt so that you know that it works ok. I think the command line you specified waits on stdin (well it does for me).
After that.....
runtime.exec creates a Process object. If you do this:
Process openssl = runtime.exec("....")
then you can examine the return code from openssl to see the exit code - for instance if the input file does not exist then exit = 1. You can test for this with Java
Alternatively you could get the stderr from the process and look inside it - if it is 0 length then all is good, if it has some text in there then it has likely failed. You could then throw an exception and include the stderr output in the exception messgae. You may need to experiment with this, runnig it first when openssl is happy then running it again when openssl is upset.

Can I run a windows software program taht is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

Can I run a windows software program that is on a CD on my macbook pro after I install bootcamp and windows xp home?

genepaquin,
the last MacBook Pros that supported installing Windows XP in a Boot Camp partition are the Mid 2010 models. If your MacBook Pro is newer than that, and you don’t have a newer version of Windows to install into a Boot Camp partition on your MacBook Pro, then you might consider an alternative such as running Windows with the help of programs such as VirtualBox or Parallels Desktop rather than through Boot Camp.

Can i create an exetutable (.exe) program with java???????

Is there any additional package which i should download or buy it?
Also i would like to write files into CD's direct from my application.
Is there any library which i must download or buy?

check out the free open source GNU gcj native compiler for Java to see if it will do what you want.
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
for writing data files you could use java.io.BufferedWriter. For sound files, look in the javax.sound package

Welcome to the Sun forums.
I am not sure of the answer to your question, but people who use Processes regularly, warn other users to ensure they are also doing something with the error stream of the process, otherwise it can hang as you describe.
