You probably need to specify the working dir for the start executable and might
also need to add ./ to start if wherever it is located isn't in the system PATH.
E.g.
<exec dir="<path/to/start>"
executable="./start"
output="./testproj.log">
<arg line=" cmd /c notepad"/>
</exec>
Hope that helps!

Subject: Re: exec - Cannot run program 'start' CreateProcess error=2
Hi
To simplifying the problem statement, when I try to run the default target in
the following build file:
---------------
<project name="test" basedir="." default="test-target">
<target name="test-target">
<exec executable="start"
output="./testproj.log">
<arg line=" cmd /c notepad"/>
</exec>
</target>
</project>
---------------
I am getting same error.
cheers
