Let's create a file using system routine and windows command prompt:

string testfolder="c:/tests"; //assuming that folerfolder `tests`'tests' has been already created in c:\ path

system("C:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe /c echo return true; > " + testfolder + "qqq.sil"); // you can run here any other program or custom script 

Let's invoke a windows.bat script file using system routine:

string testfolder="c: /tests /"; //assuming this path exists.         //we assume in this path a file called `myexec.bat` has been previously created and contains one line `echo Hello;`
         //now the following call will return `0.0|[THE_PATH_OF_EXECUTION]>echo Hello; Hello;|`         return system ("C:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe /c " + testfolder + "myexec.bat" );
