Start a program in program files folder

[v081096]

I have a problem trying to start an aplication, from within a vbscript using the run command, residing in the program files folder. I always get the error:
"The system can not find the file specified".
I have checked that the path is right using wscript.echo before I execute the wshShell.run command.
Can somebody help me ???

You need to be able to cope with the spaces between Program files, if you went to a DOS prompt and entered the same command it would probably error saying file not found, below is an example to fix this - this ex wraps " around the whole command, the same as running "c:\program files\textpad 4\textpad.exe" from the dos command prompt

dim wsh
Set wsh = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell&quot
wsh.run """c:\program files\textpad 4\textpad.exe""" Regards
