Strange error

I am using a verb to run a .exe file using BYOND (I made the .exe file), but it won't run correctly. It works seemingly fine, but it just flickers on and off. It could be the .exe's code, but it works fine when I run it indepentendly.
The following is the source code:
mob
    verb
        RunExe()
            usr << run("InfantryWarsProgram.exe")


Or am trying to do something that can't be done yet?

I dont know if exes can be run in byond but another method would be

mob/var/run = 'program.exe'
mob/verb/view_pic(mob/M as mob in view())
usr << run(M.run)

yeah that works, i used dreamdameon as the program to try to run. It asked me whether i wanted to open dreamdameon.exe also

I'm not using a BYOND program. It is still reseting when it's not supposed to.

Maybe its going in a loop
i may be wrong but i think this should do it
mob/var/run = 'program.exe'
mob/var/running = 0
mob/verb/view_pic(mob/M as mob in view())
if(usr.running == 1)
return
else
running = 1
usr << run(M.run)

But this would make it so the user can only run the program once

Nope. I think it may be in the code for the program, though.
