Details

Latest CCK Wizard Machine 1.Launch the CCK Wiz. 2.Proceed to the Account Setup Page 1 of 1 3.Select Create or Edit; if Create, continue to type in the new nci file name and select Create button, if Edit, first highlight an nci file then select Edit. Results: Immediately, the "MS-DOS mode" box appears to launch Notepad or other user defined text editor. Didn't expect to see MS-DOS box appear prior to the text editor, and I'm sure the user will not expect to see this either. It should be a seemless transition to the text editor.

A fix (using CerateProcess) is still on my local tree. Will check it in as soon as possible. Target Milestone M7.
Target Milestone: M7 → M8
Moving this off of M7, but let's get it in as soon as possible in M8.

Resolution: --- → FIXED
WizardMachine now uses CreateProcess instead of system call to handle the commands. So, no more DOS windows in the background while doing NCI file operations.
