THE FOLLOWING IS THE ERROR:

BUT THIS PROGRAM RUNS NOTEPAD.EXE AND ASSOCIATED TEXT FILES RATHER EASILY.SO CAN IT ONLY RUN PROGRAMS IN WIN32?

public class test2 { public static void main(String[] args) { try {   // print a message   System.out.println("Executing VLC.exe");   Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe");   // print another message   System.out.println("VLC should now open.");   } catch (Exception ex) {   ex.printStackTrace();   } } } 

Here is the error:

But this program runs notepad.exe and associated text files rather easily. So can it only run programs in Win32?
