having problems with spaces (program files) 1

[GCFII]

I am really new to VBScripts and am kinda learing as I go. What I am currently struggling with is trying to run an executable that is located within a directory in program files. If I run it from c:\temp\runme.exe it works fine but if I use the same script and run it from c:\program files\temp\runme.exe it fails. below is the script I am using. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Set Wshshell=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

Dim WshShell, wn

WshShell.run "c:\program files\smsinstall\winzip9install\winzip32.exe /autoinstall

The embedded space syndrom !
Try this:
WshShell.Run """c:\program files\smsinstall\winzip9install\winzip32.exe"" /autoinstall"

Hope This Help, PH.
