When I run the resulting executable manually in my command prompt, I get the expected "Hello World" output in the command prompt. When however, I run test.exe using a spawn command in IDL, after changing into the directory where the .exe resides, ...

I've tried simpler spawn commands, e.g., spawn, 'dir & pause', and those produce the expected result. But running the exe file with IDL spawn does not produce the expected output. Hoping that someone can give me a clue what is missing here.

Not sure, but try something like this:

cd, path
spawn, 'test.exe', result, errResult
print, result
print, errResult

what do you get?
