Run exe in windows container using python

Question

I am working on executing an exe file (notepad.exe) inside windows container using python.

I have copied these in my container:

exe file

dockerfile that calls python script

python script that runs exe

When I build and run these, Its not showing any error. This is the python code I am executing.

import os
print(“working”)
os.startfile(“notepad.exe”)
print(“successful”)

Build and Run

The print commands are successful. As notepad is not opening, I don't know whether it is executing or not. Actually, I want to execute an exe file and take the memory dump of Windows container.

Can you please tell me what to do for getting the memory dump in windows container? Also,how will I know that the exe is executing or not?

If you want to make an executable

pyinstaller --onefile -w randomname.py

Still,it's not working. Now, I am not getting the output of print commands as well. – Anna Sam Aug 15 '21 at 15:06
Print commands are not outputting as my code does not consist of print commands. But ill try to recreate your problem and let you know – Dinuda Yaggahavita Aug 15 '21 at 15:07
