This statement means that the Windows CMD processor does not realize that
'C:\Program Files' is a single word. Use the 8.3 version of the filename
'C:\progra~1' instead. Get the correct 8.3 name for your computer from the
Windows
dir /x
command on the appropriate directory. Maybe you can use the ENVIRONMENT
variable %PROGRAMFILES% directly. Sometimes you can use explicit quotation
marks "c:\Program Files\rest of path\yourprogram.exe" to get past this
issue.
This problem may be happening inside the program you are calling, not at
your level.
Uwe, a discussion of %PROGRAMFILES% and 8.3 names needs to be added
to the Windows FAQ. I think it belongs in "Section 5 Windows Features"
because it is
a standard Windows feature to put software in the "Program Files" directory
with an
embedded blank in its name and it is a standard MSDOS feature to trip on
embedded blanks.
