grin, already having my post linked to is kind of flattering.  ;)

It's a start, but what he also needs to do is use GetExitCodeProcess on the
hProcess handle returned from ShellExecuteEx (the thread Vijayan linked to
has an example of how to use ShellExecuteEx to also return the hProcess, but
the Platform SDK docs are also kind of self explanatory on this).  Wait for
the app to close (using one of the Wait functions), then use
GetExitCodeProcess to grab the result.
