i want to create in child process under windows platform.......

This seems to be solved by now. Use CreateProcess

Solution 3

You may use the system[^] function.
If system doesn't fit your needs (i.e. you need more control on the created process) then you should study the API provided by your OS and then call the appropriate function (e.g. CreateProcess or ShellExecute on Windows).

The posted link features an example of the system call.
If you need instead CreateProcess, then check out the related documentation or Google for code samples,
