Launch the same application twice on the same operating system.

Hello everyone,

I would like to know if it is possible to launch the same application twice separately on a single operating system?

It's a personal program that is executable with a simple .exe file, and when I launch it, it appears in the task list, but when I try to launch it a second time without stopping the first process, it doesn't execute. Even after making a copy of my .exe with a different path and a different name.

If anyone has any ideas on this topic, I would be grateful!

Thanks in advance ;)

Hello,

It depends on whether the application is designed for that.
If it checks if it is already running or locks certain files.
No, it is not possible.

Thank you for your response.

The application is "very simple" since it only sends a message to other people on the local network who have the software running. Therefore, no files are affected by the application when it is in operation.
And if I want to launch it multiple times on the same system, it's because we operate on the principle of RDS (a server running the Windows system, and each user connects simultaneously to this system via RDP).

So I did tests with two thin clients: the first connected profile starts the .exe, and the second cannot (since the program was launched by the first profile).

Is it possible to make this kind of application work on this infrastructure?
