Here is a C++ Win32 exe example:
#define _WIN32_WINNT _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
#define NOMINMAX
#include <windows.h>
#include <cstdlib>
// Start L2 as .bin with IP as parameter.
// You can use IP or DNS as IP parameter.
// You could include other parameters.
// You can change the path to the .bin file to avoid including the L2.exe inside the System folder.
