Qt - QProcess not working

Question

I am trying to start Internet Explorer, so I am using the code below

QProcess * process=new QProcess(this);
QString temp="C:\\Program Files\\Internet\ Explorer\\iexplore.exe";
process->startDetached(temp.toStdString().c_str());

But that will not work.

Answer 1

Try:

QProcess * process=new QProcess(this);
QString temp="\"C:\\Program Files\\Internet Explorer\\iexplore.exe\"";
process->startDetached(temp);

You need to use escaped quotes, as the path has a space in it, or possibly leaves all spaces (you missed Program\ Filesin the code you posted).

Answer 2

How about this?

QDir dir("C:\\");
QProcess::execute("explorer.exe", QStringList() << dir.toNativeSeparators(dir.path()));
