Notes

The module [Shell] Execute is used to directly launch an .exe executable file. This is different from the similar sounding module named [Shell] Command Line, which is used for running command line commands and running .bat batch files. By using the [Shell] Execute module, you have more control over the executable and can send pipe input to it, as well as retrieve and act on error codes, and retrieve output text.
