Maurice, here is complete function:

bool SpawnExec(HWND Handle, String CmdLine, bool Minimized, bool Wait)
{
STARTUPINFO si;
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi;
DWORD iExitCode;
bool bRet;

  if (Minimized)
    ShowWindow(Handle, SW_MINIMIZE);
  ZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(si));
  bRet = CreateProcess(NULL, CmdLine.c_str(), NULL, NULL, false, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi);
  if (bRet) {
    CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
    if (Wait)
      WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess, INFINITE);
    GetExitCodeProcess(pi.hProcess, &iExitCode);
//  iExitCode contains the process exit code
    }
  CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);
  if (Minimized)
    ShowWindow(Handle, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
  return bRet;
}
