As indicated in this question, I'm running Windbg from Excel, in order to analyse the results.

Within my Excel macro, there are following lines of code:



Windbg_PID1 = Shell("windbg -z """ + Txt_File1.Text + """ -logo """ + Output_FileName1 + """ -c "".load pykd.pyd;!py heap_stat.py -stat""", vbMaximizedFocus)
Windbg_PID2 = Shell("windbg -z """ + Txt_File2.Text + """ -logo """ + Output_FileName2 + """ -c "".load pykd.pyd;!py heap_stat.py -stat""", vbMaximizedFocus)


And after quite some Windbg processing, there is following command to close the mentioned Windbg sessions:



Shell "TASKKILL /PID " + CStr(Windbg_PID1) + " /PID " + CStr(Windbg_PID2)


Everything is working fine, but there's a catch : it seems that all Excel files (even the ones who have nothing to do with my Windbg analysis) get grouped under the same Excel application, and as long as my Windbg launching macro is running, all my other Excel files turn into Not responding.



Does somebody know how to:



  1. (Preferably) Launching a macro within an Excel file (even if it contains Shell() worksheet function), without making my Excel file "not responding".

  2. (In case point 1 is impossible) open my other Excel files under a separate Excel application. (When I open 3 Excel files and I run tasklist | findstr /I excel, I should get 3 results)

(For your information, I already tried using vbNormalNoFocus as Window style but this did not save the issue)

  • @Yane: thanks for the quick response, but this leaves me with another problem: as stated in that link, it is possible to start up a new Excel session, launching Excel /x, but how can I add this /x switch to the *.xlsm file extension? (It gives the possibility to choose an app, but I seem not to be able to add switches to it)

  • maybe this 4. Edit the Registry: Force Excel to Open in a New Instance by Default My suggestion would be to adjust your workflow in a way that you startr all normal files as usual and always open the files that use Windbg in a separate instance.
