When the application you are interrogating is not the application you are referencing in the path property, there are two ways to handle it.


  • Set the StartMethod to StartandWait and set the TargetPath to the path of the executable you are wanting to interrogate

  • Set HookChildProcesses to True - this will only work if the main process continues to run

Generally, when you are using a command file to start an application you should use StartandWait.
