executable window closes immediately

[samhaas]

I have a program that is a "NAME.exe" file. When I go to the command line and type in "NAME.exe", the file runs fine. When I input this file into MediaLab, I see the MS dos screen that is about to run that file, then the file closes out without running through that executable. How do I get this to .exe file to stay open and run smoothly through MediaLab? (I am using MediaLab v2010 and Windows XP)

Are you calling it as an executable item type in a questionnaire (i.e., a .que file) or directly from an experiment (.exp) file? Also--are you specifying the full path of the executable file?
