OSProcess on Windows

Does anyone use OSProcess on Windows? If so can you tell me how to make
it work please.

OSProcess thisOSProcess command: 'cmd.exe /C notepad'

Fails in two ways. It tries to output a message to stderr but fails to
do so. The message it tries to output just says:
"nextPutAll: 'cannot execute cmd.exe /C notepad'".

I also tried to open a console with:
OSProcess thisOSProcess openConsole

but that seems to do nothing and gives no errors.

Any help very welcome.

Regards
Bob

Hi Carlos

Well, I think frustration is starting to creep in now. Everything I
touch seems to croak in some way. I loaded ProcessWrapper as it seems to
be the more recommended way on Windows. Still didn't get a plugin with
it. Noted that 'ProcessWrapper downloadPlugin' is supposed to do that.
That didn't work as it falls over on 'Utilities informUserDuring: '.
Even when I took that out of the source it still fell over. Downloaded
the plugin source and tried to build it but its missing libraries and I
don't know which ones. Also it has a header file which can't be
generated so I made one up but probably got it wrong.

Oh, well, guess I will press on a bit longer.
