For example:

    bool __fastcall RunProgram(const AnsiString &FileName, const AnsiString
&Params, bool WaitUntilExit = true)
    {
        AnsiString CmdLine;
        if( Params.IsEmpty() )
            CmdLine = FileName;
        else
            CmdLine = (AnsiQuotedStr(FileName) + " " + Params);

        STARTUPINFO si = {sizeof(STARTUPINFO), 0};
        PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = {0};

        // fill in si as needed...

        if( CreateProcess(FileName.c_str(), CmdLine.c_str(), NULL,  NULL,
FALSE,  0, NULL, NULL, &si, &pi) )
        {
            if( WaitUntilExit )
                WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess, INFINITE);

            CloseHandle(pi.hThread);
            CloseHandle(pi.hProcess);

            return true;
        }

        return false;
    }


    {
        if( RunProgram("c:\\path\\Bubba.exe", "first set of parameters") )
            RunProgram("c:\\path\\Bubba.exe", "second set of parameters");
    }
