Yes. For example, (definitely NOT endorsing using cmd.exe to start executables):
C:\>cmd.exe /c "c:\Program Files (x86)\orca"\orca.exe 'c:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\>cmd.exe /c c:\Program Files (x86)\orca\orca.exe 'c:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\>cmd.exe /c "c:\Program Files (x86)\orca\orca.exe" C:\> C:\>cmd.exe /c "c:\Program Files (x86)\orca\orca.exe" C:\> In the latter case, orca.exe starts. In the former, the error message is self-explanatory. Using forward slashes doesn't change the result: C:\>cmd.exe /c c:/Program Files (x86)/orca/orca.exe 'c:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\>cmd.exe /c "c:/Program Files (x86)/orca"/orca.exe 'c:/Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. C:\>cmd.exe /c "c:/Program Files (x86)/orca/orca.exe" C:\> -- John Merryweather Cooper Build & Install Engineer - ESA Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® Shawnee Mission, KS 66227 Office: 913-341-3434 x791011 jocoo...@jackhenry.com www.jackhenry.com -----Original Message----- From: Phill Hogland [mailto:phogl...@rimage.com] Sent: Friday, December 20, 2013 3:00 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-users] ExeCommand will not accept any path with spaces Aside from all the other good points which folks have made, if there was some reason to do the following: '/k "[INSTALLDIR]"/myprogram.exe' Is the second double quote above in the wrong place, and should be moved to the end of the path?
