Element Description
CreateProcess
AXE uses the fundamental create process API to specify an executable and a command line for that executable.

Examples

Note that AXE does not modify the Windows environment an assessment inherits the same environment inherited by the process hosting AXE. This lets the assessment author using strings like these:

%WINDIR%\System32\WinSAT.EXE
    .\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\Assessment.exe

Calling ExpandEnvironmentStringsW() three times lets the assessment author nest expansions three levels deep. This is a relatively common thing to do. Note that AXE only calls the UNICODE (wide) version of this API.
