Win98 Issue - Launch App on Remote Volume

[Scott Rossi]

Howdy List:

I have yet another issue with Win98 [sigh] that I'm hoping someone may be
able to solve...

Our (MC 2.4.2) app is designed to launch a second app using the standard

  open process path_to_xyz.exe for neither

This works fine and reliably when run locally.  When this is run under Win98
from a remote volume, our app runs fine but will not launch the second app.
The error returned in the result is "Not opened" (now this is helpful).
Checking the path to the EXE verifies the existence of the EXE files (true).
And the second app also launches as expected on Win2K and WinXP.  The
problem apparently occurs only under Win98.

Any ideas on how to make launching from a remote volume work correctly?

Thanks & Regards,
