parent

When one program causes another to be loaded and executed, this process is called "spawning". The original program is called the "parent" program, and the program is starts up is called the "child" program.

起動元のプログラム = "parent program"

disagree Maynard Hogg : There are other possibilities--fork, for example.

Excuse me, but why does that mean this is the wrong answer?? Besides, "fork" seems to be a term used more often in UNIX than Windows. Could you please explain your position.

caller

起動 has many meanings in Japanese besides "start"--boot and call, for example.

I cannot be more specific because ProZ posts are all 文字化け this morning.

Much as one would like to use ¥"runner.¥"(grin)

For one Windoze program to run/launch another, it has to call a function--e.g., a member of the spawn...() family (although there are others)--with the name of the program, command line arguments, etc.

¥"When one program runs another with the first program¥'s window closed(?), it take a few seconds for the second program¥'s window to appear.¥"

I don¥'t see any necessity to take the Japanese ¥"source¥" and ¥"destination/target¥" bits too seriously. ¥"First¥" and ¥"second¥" make much better English.

The Windows API provides the function CreateProcess() for ¥"starting¥" other programs.

The spawn...() family is C/C++.
