Running Windows Functions from APPX

Invoking Windows Shell Functions

In order to invoke a Windows shell function (such as a batch file or executable) from APPX for Windows, follow these guidelines.

RUN in Series or Parallel

When you RUN from APPX/Unix, APPX won't resume running until the shell object called has completed (series). When you RUN from APPX for Windows, the RUN command by default spawns a separate thread and APPX immediately resumes execution (parallel).
